About People's Action Forum

People's Action Forum (PAF) is an indigenous non-profit, non-governmental organisation; it is an open denominational, non-discriminatory society with a current membership of over 2,000 people, most of whom are from the rural communities where PAF carries out its activities.

Working with whole communities especially women and children PAF's approach is to help local groups realise that their development cannot be some abstract body's responsibilty, but their own.

 

Executive Director

PAF

Aware of the rising daily expressions of helplessness from the rural majority, the People Act Foundation was founded in 1994 by a concerned group of social workers, educators, lawyers, bankers, health specialists, theologians and administrators, among them former Zambian Supreme Court Justice Mrs Florence Mumba, who also served as the organisation's first Chairperson. The name of the organisation implied that the people themselves, the grassroots, would not sit and wait, but would take action to improve their lives. The name was later changed to People's Action Forum, in order to recognise the importance of community action for change.
