Our Platforms
Institutional Partnerships Platform
Connecting Africa's political parties with peer platforms and institutions across the world.
Global partnerships and networks
Learning across regions
The African Political Parties Initiative in 2025 engaged with political party platforms in other regions of the world. Through such partnerships, the initiative contributes to broader international conversations on political leadership, democratic governance, and the institutional development of political parties.
With these partnerships, the initiative seeks to encourage learning across regions and to contribute to a deeper understanding of the institutional challenges and opportunities confronting political parties in contemporary democratic systems and their role in developing their respective countries.
