ARMFA Membership

According to the ARMFA Constitution and By-Laws (2018) – Clause 6: Membership, Rights and Obligations of Members – ARMFA comprises three membership categories:

Full Member

Any national Road Maintenance Fund that adheres to the present By-Laws.

Associate Member:

Any entity under a federal state or a decentralized collectivity registered with ARMFA.

Partner Member

Any organization similar to a Road Maintenance Fund that plays a role in road maintenance in an African country, or any organization involved in road maintenance operations.

ARMFA currently comprises 35 countries (including English, French, and Portuguese-speaking members), along with one Associate Member. Membership is open to all Road Maintenance Funds in African countries. However, countries with federal systems are admitted as Associate Members, which renders them non-voting members of the General Assembly.

To facilitate coordinated management, ARMFA members are grouped into four Regional Focal Groups (FGs):

West African Focal Group
Southern African Focal Group
Central African Focal Group
East African Focal Group

Each Focal Group holds regular meetings to address issues of mutual interest within their respective regions. The outcomes and resolutions of these meetings are submitted for discussion and adoption by the General Assembly during ARMFA’s Annual Conference.
