Purpose: Build strong, active, sustainable members, volunteers, interns, leadership pipeline, partnerships.
Bandung Africa is a Pan-African institution connecting leaders, professionals, students, entrepreneurs and citizens across the continent and the diaspora — building justice, sustainability, leadership and development from the ground up for the benefit of Africa and Africans. Our roots trace to the 1955 Bandung Conference and its founding spirit of solidarity across the Global South. Today, that spirit lives in our work across Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Somalia, the U.K, Geneva, Canada and the USA, under leadership that includes Hon. Judge Peter Herbert OBE, Yetunde Asika and Dr Myra Kalsy.
Membership is how you become part of our movement.
Most youth and civil-society organisations are local — one country, one issue, one network. Bandung is built differently: a Pan-African body with a presence in seven countries and growing, designed to move people, ideas and opportunities across borders, not just within them. Moving across the Global South as well as the Global North.
As a member, you’re connected to:
A digital membership identity within a Pan-African, internationally-linked NGO with real UK/diaspora institutional relationships. The same institution linking a young lawyer in Lagos, a health advocate in Freetown, a climate organiser in Nairobi and a researcher in the U.K.
Choose your pathway: Justice & Rule of Law · Climate & Sustainability · Business & Entrepreneurship · Youth Leadership · Women in Leadership · Public Policy & Governance · Arts, Culture & Heritage · Research & Innovation.
To Bandung’s newsletter, webinars (including the high-level hybrid webinars that already run through the year), and community events.
Bandung has taken members into rooms most local organizations cannot reach, including a recent International delegation to Geneva with a judicial study visit in Lausanne alongside Supreme Court judges, UN Conference in…, U.K fact finding missions and research collaboration.
Bandung has an annual conference and now an annual Youth Conference. We also host several webinars and panels throughout the year. We are also co-organising the Pan-African Youth Conference (PAYCON) 2026. Members are considered for delegate places, volunteer roles, and speaking or planning opportunities.
Our hybrid webinar series runs throughout the year, wherever you are in the world.
