As a member you can decide how much you want to be involved in Justice for Africa. The responsibilities are very much dependent on how much interest, capacity and time each organisation has, there is no minimum or maximum type of engagement. However, as a vibrant, active movement, we hope that our members would be key Justice for Africa mobilisers, for example, sharing our content, actions and advocacy opportunities with their networks and helping to shape relationships with policy makers. 

Also, as Justice for Africa is owned by our membership, by becoming a member you will also be part of the movement’s governance. Depending on your organisation’s type, and where you’re based, you will automatically join a constituency of other members that fit that criteria.

Each constituency is represented by their own trustee(s) on our legal trustee board based in Ghana. These trustees are voted for by you and are responsible for consulting with all member organisations in that constituency ahead of leadership meetings to share your perspectives in key campaign decisions. As a member you could even stand for election to be a trustee yourself.
