Members of the Network
Pamoja West Africa is currently made up of 12 National Pamojas. Each National Pamoja is a national network of organisations and in some cases individuals practicing or sympathetic to the Reflect approach. Some networks are registered as formal organisations and others are informal groupings; some have paid coordinators and a national secretariat while others rely on designated members to fulfil a leadership and coordination role. Networks are usually invited to send a male and female representative to sub regional activities with the idea that learning and innovations will then be replicated and shared at national levels.
In the same way that Pamoja West Africa draws its mandate from and is answerable to its member networks, each National Pamoja operates in accordance with its national constitution developed by its members. Thus Pamoja seeks to be a "bottom up" network with responsibility to support and encourage the work of Reflect circle facilitators and participants and to make their voices more easily heard at policy and national and international levels.
West African countries that are not yet part of the Reflect family include Cote d'Ivoire and Niger. In the Maghreb Morocco is on the way to developing a national Reflect practitioners network. Several NGOs in Mauritania have experimented with the approach and dvv International initiated an orientation workshop for the Ministry of Education.
In the past other francophone countries that have taken part in Pamoja West Africa activities or made use of our resources due to the language affinity include Haiti, Madagascar, Rwanda and Burundi.
