The General Assembly (GA) is the highest governing body of Africa Without Borders (AWB), ensuring that the movement remains democratic, transparent, and inclusive. Composed of all registered members, the General Assembly provides a participatory platform where AWB’s vision, policies, and strategic direction are collectively shaped. It embodies the principle that every member has a voice, making AWB a truly youth-led movement committed to Pan-African progress and unity.

The General Assembly convenes regularly to review and approve key decisions related to advocacy, governance, financial oversight, and leadership elections. It serves as the space where members debate policies, propose new initiatives, and hold AWB’s leadership accountable. This ensures that the organization remains aligned with its founding principles and responsive to the evolving needs of young Africans.

Key Responsibilities of the General Assembly:

Policy & Strategic Oversight: Defines AWB’s priorities, advocacy focus, and long-term goals.
Leadership Elections: Elects the President, Executive Board, and other governing bodies.
Financial Accountability: Reviews AWB’s budget, funding strategies, and financial reports.
Amendments & Governance: Discusses and approves changes to AWB’s founding provisions.

The General Assembly is structured to promote active participation and regional representation, ensuring that AWB members from different parts of Africa contribute to shaping the organization’s direction. It also acts as a forum for discussion and collaboration, allowing youth from diverse backgrounds to share ideas, address challenges, and drive impactful solutions.

By upholding the values of Pan-African democracy, collective leadership, and youth empowerment, the General Assembly plays a vital role in ensuring that AWB remains a dynamic and transformative movement, dedicated to building a united and self-reliant Africa.
