Membership
Join ACFIM Membership a team of Africans who believe in democracy as the most viable system of governance for African countries.
The lack of electoral integrity is a major bottleneck for Africa’s democratization process. Uncontrolled, undeclared, and opaque money in politics is a major cause of the lack of electoral integrity.
ACFIM is working on developing homegrown solutions to curb the monetization and commercialization of politics as one avenue of building electoral integrity for sustainable democracy in Africa.
