ACT Ubumbano is currently governed by its ‘founding Board’ comprising individuals from 11 participating organisations.
We invite nominations of persons in their individual capacity to constitute a new Board that will carry out the mandate stated in the constitution of ACT Ubumbano: “The Board is responsible for making decisions, and acting on such decisions, which it believes it needs to make in order to achieve the object of the organisation.”
A panel will be established to review nominations, conduct interviews, and make recommendations to the “founding Board” for a final decision to appoint. The panel’s recommendations will strive to ensure a balanced representation of skills, individual gender identification and sexual orientation, geography, age, and race.

We are building on the amazing success of this January’s week of action to end the age of greed with an even bigger show of strength and mass mobilisation to grab the media headlines in January 2020. Around the world discussions have already begun from Lusaka to London on how powerful national mobilisations will call for an end to the age of greed and showcase solutions to inequality from events held at ‘other mountains’ (in contrast to Davos’s privileged mountain) such as garbage dumps and mine dumps, as well as big marches. We have big collective ambitions to make a splash.
We have learnt consistently to deliver huge mobilisations that our discussions and planning need to start earlier, so now is the time to meet allies and put concrete plans in place so January grabs global attention. Our people powered week needs all of us to make it a success!
How do I get involved?
What does success look like?
