The Movement

Who are we?

Tournons La Page (TLP) is an international citizens' movement - bringing together nearly 250 organizations in fifteen countries (Benin, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Guinea, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Uganda, DRC, Senegal, Togo) - which leads and relays peaceful, non-partisan actions to promote democratic alternation in Africa.

In France, the International Secretariat based in Paris supports coalitions: training, network management and animation, lobbying and advocacy, media presence, protection of activists.

On October 15, 2014, two weeks before the fall of Blaise Compaoré in Burkina Faso, we launched an appeal entitled "In Africa as elsewhere, no democracy without alternation" signed by 550 organizations and personalities from Africa and Europe.

Tournons La Page (TLP) is today the international reference network on the issue of democratic processes in Africa.



Our mission:

To encourage and strengthen citizen action in favor of sustainable democratic processes.

Our values:

  • Solidarity and collegiality: "we are stronger together".
  • Non-violence
  • Respect for human rights
  • The universal nature of democracy
  • National and international solidarity
  • Independence from political parties

Become a member

To become a member of Tournons La Page, you must be either an organization or an individual, join one of the fifteen existing national coalitions or create one in the country to which you belong, if no coalition exists.

Members are integrated into the governance of their coalition, participate in defining TLP's positions and have access to all services (communication support, relays, networking, technical and political support, protection in case of threat...).

Membership Criteria

  • Be involved in one or more areas related to the promotion of democracy (good governance, citizenship education, advocacy, human rights defense, social rights promotion, fight against corruption...);
  • Have an associative/strategic project or a personal commitment in line with TLP's visions, missions, values and principles;
  • Adhere to the TLP Charter.

Create a new coalition 

To create a coalition, interested organizations or individuals must meet and share their motivations for joining TLP.

Candidates must then send a formal request by e-mail to contact@tournonslapage.org, attaching the adhesion form completed by each organization wishing to join the coalition.

If the application is approved by the Board of Directors, applicants will be asked to set up a provisional office to handle day-to-day business and act as an intermediary between the International Secretariat and the new coalition. They will therefore choose a coordinator and a secretary, as well as a communication officer. TLP insists on parity in leadership positions within coalitions.

This office will function for a six-month at least in which, in collaboration with the International Secretariat, it will elaborate its organic texts (statutes, internal regulations, procedures manual, organization chart, etc.).

At the end of this probationary period, the president of TLP International will officially install the new coordination team, following the Board of Director's approval.

Governance

Tournons La Page (TLP) is an international citizens' movement which today brings together some 250 civil society organizations in Africa and Europe, grouped into 16 collectives (known as coalitions).

Each coalition is autonomous in implementing its actions and defining its strategy. They are led by coordinators, elected for a 3-year term, renewable once.

Every three years, the International General Meeting (AGM) is held, bringing together the members of the Board of Directors, the Ethics Committee, representatives of each coalition, representatives of sponsors approved as active members, as well as invited personalities and partners. It is the sovereign body of the TLP at international level, and elects the members of the Board, the Executive Committee and the Commissions.

The Board is made up of two representatives from each Coalition, two or three personalities elected by the AGM, and one or two sponsor representatives. Its role is to define the direction of the movement, as guarantor of its vision, values, principles and objectives.

The Bureau, the executive body of Tournons La Page (TLP), is made up of a president, a vice-president and a treasurer.

The movement and its governing bodies are supported in their mission by the International Secretariat, whose role is to animate and represent the movement, protect members and support national coalitions in their activities.
