Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA) is the successor organisation to the Anti-Apartheid Movement. Since 1994 ACTSA has been campaigning with the people of southern Africa as they strive to build a better future, working for peace, democracy and development across the region.

With the help of our members, ACTSA influences decision-makers in Britain and Europe on policies that affect southern Africa. It keeps the region in the public and political spotlight through lobbying, publication of reports and media work. ACTSA also inspires change and humanitarian relief through direct action in the southern African region.

ACTSA is a democratic not-for-profit organisation funded by its members and supporters. Individual members and affiliated trade unions, union branches and local groups shape our agenda and lead our campaigns. ACTSA is governed by a constitution and set of standing orders.

ACTSA''s sovereign body is our Annual General Meeting which meets in November each year to decide on the organisation’s strategy for the year ahead and to elect a National Executive Committee (NEC) that meets six times a year and overseas ACTSA''s political directions, staffing and finances. The NEC employs a small team of dedicated staff and interns to carry out the work and run the organisation on a day to day basis.
