This week, we announced three new multi-year initiatives in Africa to advance civic engagement, economic prosperity, and peacebuilding: Democratic Futures in Africa, Resources Futures in Africa, and Transformative Peace in Africa.
The three Open Society programs will prioritize African agency, grassroots organizing, and locally defined solutions to push for political inclusion, economic policies that benefit people, and community-rooted conflict resolution efforts, especially among youth, women, and other historically excluded communities.
“I see so much talent, energy, and innovation across all sectors working for a prosperous and democratic Africa,” said Open Society President Binaifer Nowrojee.
These new efforts continue a 40-year commitment by Open Society to support African citizens, institutions, and governments at the forefront of advancing human rights, equity, and justice.
“We are not here to impose solutions—we are here to support and amplify the people and institutions already doing the work. This approach reaffirms our long-standing belief that real change comes from the ground up,” said Open Society Chair Alex Soros.
