The African Democratic Alliance for Freedom and Progress (ADAFP) is a transnational political alliance committed to democratic reform, freedom, proportional representation, inclusive governance, and the rule of law. ADAFP works across borders to promote fair political systems that genuinely reflect the diversity of African societies and strengthen democratic stability through peaceful political change.
Our Core Pillars
Transnational Cooperation
We build cooperation among democratic actors across Africa and beyond, encouraging shared learning, policy exchange, and collective action in support of freedom, democracy, and inclusive progress.
Proportional Representation
We advocate electoral systems that translate votes into seats fairly, ensuring political inclusion, pluralism, and legitimacy. Proportional representation is central to reducing exclusion, polarization, and political conflict.
