Who we are

A pan-African tech NGO dedicated to open governance

Since 2010, AfroLeadership has been working to strengthen participatory democracy, transparency in public finances and digital rights in Africa. We combine rigorous research, technological development and citizen advocacy.

Registered in Cameroon, our organisation operates through strong institutional partnerships — IBP, AIMF, the World Bank — and digital platforms deployed within public institutions.
