ACTA Motoring Clubs have served African motorists and travellers for more than 100 years.
Each ACTA Club is an independent, not-for-profit organization, chartered and incorporated in its own country and controlled by its own Board of Directors.
In order to be affiliated with ACTA, each club needs to:
- Be a Member of the FIA (the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile),
- Agree to provide certain standard services to its own members, as well as members of other ACTA clubs,
- Collaborate on other areas of mobility, i.e. Road Safety, Driver Training, Insurance, Technology, Data Collection, and Sustainable Mobility.

FIA Region I
The FIA Region I office, based in Brussels, is a consumer body comprising 105 Mobility Clubs that represent over 36 million members from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The African Council of Touring and Automobile Clubs (ACTA) formally became a sub-region of FIA Region I in early 2008.
The FIA Region I office aims:
- Firstly, to provide strong representation of European Member Club interests towards the European Union institutions – for example on road safety, consumer protection, environmental protection and the promotion of sustainable motoring.
- Secondly, to build up links and support the exchange of best practices between our Member Clubs across Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and.
- Thirdly, to engage in new campaign activities together with Automobile Clubs throughout the region, such as the FIA Action for Road Safety campaign.
The FIA Region I forms part of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), which was founded in 1904 and brings together leading national motoring organisations from 141 countries worldwide and is the governing body for world motor sport.
