Structure<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

During its first meeting on 31 February 2006 in Reutlingen, the founding members came together around the vision of Susan Tatah to establish a non-profit, membership-based organization dedicated to promoting African culture and community engagement. The members agreed to support the creation of a non-profit association (gemeinn\u00fctzig) under German law, adopting the legal form of a registered association (e.V.)<\/p>

The association was officially approved in September 2006, and its first Board of Administration was constituted. An Executive Committee was subsequently established from among the founding members:<\/p>

Founding Board Members:<\/span>
Terrence Seydou, Marcel Nyam, Susan Tatah, Sunjo Nyuywir, Fomo Nyuy, Duval Njapa, Armand N.<\/p>

To ensure democratic, transparent, and effective decision-making, the association is composed of the following bodies:<\/p>

Members form the foundation of AfrikAktiv e.V., actively participating in and benefiting from its platforms, programmes, and initiatives.<\/p>

Provides strategic direction, oversight, and governance, ensuring that the organization remains aligned with its mission and legal obligations.<\/p>

  • Engagement in diaspora dialogue and community exchange<\/li>
  • Promotion of African culture and heritage<\/li>
  • Volunteering in events and organizational activities<\/li>
  • Supporting information dissemination and public relations<\/li><\/ul>

    The General Assembly is held once a year, typically during the festival period, serving as a key platform for reporting, decision-making, and member engagement. Additional ad hoc meetings may be convened as needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
