Our Mission

Our mission is to help citizens and governments shape a bright and equitable democratic society in Africa and to enable the diaspora to get involved in the political decision-making process. Our Values are participation, Inclusion and Innovation.

Our Vision

By including citizens in the decision-making process, governments are more likely to be transparent and legitimate representatives of their people. In working together, citizens and government can advocate for more just and sustainable solutions to the country’s or region’s most pressing needs.

Our Work

We imagine and bring to life the ways to involve citizens in policy stages, conceived, developed, delivered or evaluated. By including citizens in the decision-making process, governments are more likely to be transparent and legitimate representatives of their people. In working together, citizens and government can advocate for more just and sustainable solutions to the country’s or region’s most pressing needs.

• Research, study and shape the future of democracy
• Publish and disseminate well-researched papers, reports, analyses and debates
• Train and empower citizens, community organisers about civic skills and the participatory process
• Organise public discussions, citizen assemblies and platforms to voice people’s will
