Tools of Analysis

Tools of Analysis

Pan-African Community Action (PACA) is organized around shared tools of analysis and guided by organizing principles.

Even for those that do not share PACA’s tools of analysis and organizing principles, PACA asserts that no organization or movements can be built without a shared analysis and guiding principles.

As such, conscious Africans must be in an organization AND that organization must be held together by a shared analysis and guided by organizing principles.
