Its aims are to foster the growth of a democratic society based on personal liberty, personal responsibility and social justice, and to provide the means of cooperation and interchange of information between the member organizations, and between men and women of all countries who accept these principles. There are 11 African political party members of Liberal International (also called the International Federation of Liberal Parties)—eight full members and three with observer status. As full members, the African liberal parties participate in the deliberations of Liberal International in order to develop strategies globally. African liberals established a vibrant wing for African young people, called the Organization of African Youth (OALY), at the 156th Executive Committee meeting of Liberal International in Dakar, Senegal, on 26 October 1996.

It holds an observer status in Liberal International (see Table 4.6 for the African political party members; some are members of several party internationals of like-minded ideological orientations). 4.7.3 The African members of Socialist International Socialist International is a worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist and labour parties. Currently, it brings together 162 political parties and organizations from all continents. Table 4.7 shows that 30 African political parties are Socialist International members (19 full members, seven consultative and four with observer status). Apparently, the association of Socialist International with the socialist political parties of the cold war era still haunts many socialist-oriented Africans who are still fearful of being associated with military socialism.
