About us
We are a consortium of more than 2000 organisations from 54 African countries that brings together a diverse membership drawn from Grassroots, Community-based organizations, Faith-based Organizations, Non-Governmental organizations, Trusts, Foundations, Indigenous Communities, Farmers and Pastoralist Groups with a shared vision to advance a people-centered, right-based, just and inclusive approach to address climate and environmental challenges facing humanity and the planet. PACJA’s tremendous growth of membership and mandate has necessitated a rethink of its governance.....
Our History
The journey started when a group of CSOs came together at a workshop and were concerned by the complete absence of the African civil society voice in the international climate change dialogue processes. The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and Oxfam International organized the workshop to facilitate dialogue among African Civil Society Organizations to explore ways of working together to create an impact on the post-2012 discussions on Climate change. This journey towards a unified African civil society, was the subsequent birth of Pan African Climate Justice Alliance.
