ABSTRACTAs part of on-going multidimensional foreign policy changes in recent years, there has been since 1998 a revival in Turkey's relations with Africa. Initially rather passive, after 2005 this became a massive effort to develop relations with the whole continent. However, Turkey's Africa policy is unique in Turkish foreign policy, since for the first time it is driven and complemented by the activities of civil society organisations in and about Africa. Conceptualisation of Africa in Turkish society has changed dramatically in less than a decade, and the recent Turkey–Africa Cooperation Summit should be seen as part of this trend. Turkey's opening to Africa is not a short-term inclination, but is likely to develop and deepen in coming years.

Civil society is one of the most important elements of the democratic order, as a means for citizens to influence the state independently and voluntarily. Non-governmental organizations that are the output of civil society are among the important organizations that ensure the influence of citizens, politicians, the state and other management organizations. The idea of associating nomadic Nomads with a way of life is influenced by political developments in Turkey, but an increase is especially noticeable after the 2000s. In this study, the qualitative research method was used; The relationship between leadership and Yörük associations has been deciphered by explaining the conceptual frameworks of Yörüks, NGOs and leadership. With the help of the study, it was concluded that these associations, whose number has increased especially recently, may face the danger of not being well managed and turning into sign associations that fall into political expectations.
