In the exercise of its mandate of connecting the African Union to its people, the Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) champions numerous initiatives throughout the year; be it through advocacy or awareness raising, ECOSOCC has always been at the forefront of bringing AU policies and programmes at the grassroots. As a resultant of these engagements, many CSOs have reported, quite sporadically though, to ECOSOCC about their very laudable programs to support the Agenda 2063 but most importantly the annual AU Theme of the Year. In response to this, on 25th May 2025, as part of its Africa Day commemorations, ECOSOCC officially conceived the ‘My Africa My Future Compendium’ (MAMF) project. The Compendium represents the organ’s commitment to make civil society visible, valued, and heard. Through this annual call, we are building a digital and physical repository of civic excellence across Africa and the diaspora one that will inform AU policy and global development conversations for years to come. Let’s shape the narrative of justice and reparation from the ground up. Tell your story. Showcase your impact. Join the movement.

Through this initiative, ECOSOCC seeks to:

  • Catalogue and spotlight diverse CSO-led initiatives that embody the AU annual theme of the year
  • Promote interregional learning by sharing replicable models and strategies.
  • Build a permanent compendium of civil society action across Africa and the diaspora.
  • Unite scattered voices from communities, CSOs, activists, and researchers to amplify their impact under the ECOSOCC umbrella

Join the Compendium!

ECOSOCC invites Civil Society Organizations across Africa and the global African diaspora to contribute to the "My Africa, My Future" Compendium. Share your initiatives that advance justice and reparations in line with the African Union’s 2025 Theme of the Year. This is your chance to highlight your impact, inspire others, and be part of a collective voice shaping the future of justice for Africans and people of African descent.
