AFN Membership Creed

We are not leaders of the moment
We are architects of legacy.
We do not rise for titles,
But to build what outlives us.
We possess the courage to claim our place,
The wisdom to lead with integrity,
And the tools to shape systems that endure.
We are a generation that refuses to wait for permission.
We take responsibility for Africa’s future.
