There are
currently 22 national chapters of AFSTRAG, 17 of which are within Africa. The
more members and more chapters AFSTRAG has the more effective this
institution can be.
The requirements and responsibilities for establishing a national chapter are
laid out below.
If you are interested and would like further information about forming a
National Chapter please contact afstragcentre@linkserve.com |

Requirements
for the establishment of a National Chapter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Section 12 of
the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) covers the requirements for the
establishment of an AFSTRAG National Chapter. Essentially a minimum of ten
members are required. Details for membership can be found under how to join
us.
All members in
that country must have applied for registration of their Chapter and have
been so registered by AFSTRAG International on approval by the General
Assembly on recommendation of the International Management Board.
Furthermore it
is possible for National chapters to form their own bye laws providing they
are not in contravention with the MOU of AFSTRAG International. Bye laws must
be forwarded to the International secretariat of AFSTRAG in Lagos. |

Responsibilities
for the establishment of a National Chapter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part c of Section 12 in the MOU
covers the responsibilities of AFSTRAG National Chapters. It states the
following;
1. The responsibilities of the
National Chapter include the promotion of multi-track dialogue in all areas
of human security at national level with a view to providing concerned
parties a platform for discussion in order to recommend action-oriented short
and long-term policies for implementation by the national government. This
platform is a forum for discreet, non-publicized roundtable of intensive
discussions of fundamental issues by policy-makers, practitioners, diplomats
(active and retired), military (active and retired), public servants (active
and retired), professionals (active and retired) and NGO workers. Efforts
must be made to have a minimum of 40% female membership and this must also be
reflected at the decision-making level.
2. The discussions shall lead to
publication of policy newsletters that are disseminated within and outside
the country apart from policy briefings of the national civil society
institution and government ministers and officials if and when requested.
3. The National Chapter shall also
provide policy analysis and recommendations on the national economic and
foreign policies in order to create awareness in the civil society and
encourage civil society participation in economic and foreign policy
formulation, decision-making and activation process. The Chapter can provide
in-depth analysis for the internal mass media, civil society organisations
and national parliaments.
4. National Chapters shall also
analyze multi-lateral institutions and processes as they influence global
processes of change with a view to understanding the impact on their own
country, their sub-regions and on Africa.
5. Finally, National Chapters shall
analyze factors and issues that create obstacles or advance sub-regional
cooperation and collaboration on human security, including sustainable
economic, urban and rural development in the sub-region.
6. Some of the above activities,
especially the last two objectives, have to be carried out with other
national chapters in the sub-region. This necessitates sub-regional
roundtables, action-oriented studies and research, publications and other
activities under the umbrella of the continental body AFSTRAG.
Once again, if you are interested
in forming an AFSTRAG national chapter in Africa or elsewhere please e-mail
the International secretariat in Lagos on afstragcentre@linkserve.com |
