Membership
Join the Transform Alliance Africa and amplify your organisation’s impact in the movement to end institutional care and strengthen family-based care across the continent.
Why Join Us
TAA membership gives your organisation a collective voice at national, regional, and continental levels. Members participate in joint advocacy to the ACERWC and the African Union, access shared research and advocacy toolkits, exchange knowledge and practice across 12 countries, and contribute to TAA’s positioning in global care reform processes, including UN. The Alliance’s strength is its collective voice. That voice grows with every member.
- Collective advocacy reach
- Knowledge exchange
- Capacity-building webinars and toolkits
- Increase your organizations profile in global care reform processes
