Part of a series on |
Green politics |

The Federation of Green Parties of Africa is an umbrella body of the various national
Principles of the Global Green Charter include:[4]
- Participatory Democracy
- Nonviolence
- Social justice
- Sustainability
- Respect for Diversity
- Ecological Wisdom
Current leadership includes the President, Dr. Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda,[5] Papa Meissa Dieng of the Convergence of Ecologists of Senegal (CES) as the Secretary General,[6] and Robinah K. Nanyunja as treasurer. Nanyunja is an environmentalist from Uganda.[7]
Goals of the coalition include helping such parties gain more political power, such as joining the parliamentary or legislative bodies. Such was a success for the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, which gained a sufficient percent of the vote in 2018, allowing them to gain representation in the Rwandan parliament.[8]
In addition to political parties, the ENGOs, or environmental non-governmental organizations, have played an important role on the continent after colonization in order to push for development and basic needs delivery.[9]
