It has been in existence for over 100 years. Formed in 1900, the PAM is still pursuing its aims. It has even come up with new demands such as asking Europeans for compensation in return for the period they exploited Africa's resources and slave labour.

The Pan African Movement achieved its objective of decolonizing Africa. Between 1957 - 1994, all African countries had been granted independence except Spanish Sahara/the Western Saharan Republic.

The movement has succeeded in fostering unity between Africans in Africa and Negroes in the Diaspora.

The Pan African movement has managed to uplift the dignity and social pride of the black peoples all over the world.

Marcus Garvey formed the "back to Africa" Movement which made blacks in America, Asia and Jamaica to become aware of their African origins. From then on, they started giving practical help to Negro/black movements in Africa and America e.g. they supported the WASU.

The PAM helped to sensitize black people about their rights and helped them present their human rights abuses before the UN. A number of young Pan Africanists e.g. Nyerere, Nkrumah, Kamuzu Banda and Kenyatta started sensitizing fellow Africans about their rights, including the right for self government.

It helped in reducing the rate of racial segregation in South Africa. The Pan Africa Congress in South Africa widely publicized the white man's atrocities against blacks and subsequently won international sympathy.

Pan Africanism succeeded in getting a propaganda base in Africa. Ghana became the indigenous base for the PAM.

It played a great role in training high quality leaders such as Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Haille Sellasie of Ethiopia. These were trained to have deep feelings and concern for the entire African continent. They became the earliest apostles of Pan Africanism in Africa.

The Pan African Movement has constantly called for non-alignment of African countries as a means of dissociating Africa from the ideological dogmas of the super powers. Non-alignment won Africa some level of international respect.

Pan Africanists influenced the contents of the 1941 Atlantic charter. This charter was signed at a time when American Pan Africanists were seriously demanding for the independence and respect of the black man. No wonder why the charter addressed itself to the question of political rights for all the colonized.

Its ideas resulted into formation of the O.A.U. in 1963.

It has forged solidarity between African, Arab and Asian countries.

The Pan African Movement (PAM) has continued to voice its dissatisfaction with neo-colonialism in Africa.

Its ideas were used by nationalists to form political parties and liberation movements.
