About APPI

The African Political Parties Initiative (APPI) is a continental platform committed to repositioning political parties as central institutions for governance, policy development, and national transformation.

Continental Platform for Political Transformation

At a time when democratic systems across Africa face profound pressures, APPI provides a strategic response—uniting political leaders, institutions, and citizens around a shared vision for stronger, more accountable, and development-driven political systems.

Anchored by the Africa Governance Centre (AGC), APPI supports structured political reform, promotes intra-party democracy, advances leadership development, and facilitates collaboration between political parties and public institutions.
