Hosted by TrustAfrica in partnership with the Ghana Center for Democratic Development

complex challenges such as geopolitical tensions, inequality, widening marginalisation,
social polarization and deepening environmental crises. By uniting diverse voices and
perspectives, the convening will enable transformative change and strengthen organizing
efforts for social transformation across the continent.
The objectives of the Baraza are also to;
– Foster conversations among African social movement leaders on the current global
political moment and create Common African Movement Positions on priority
intersecting issues.
– Provide a platform to foster solidarity, collaboration, and joint actions and strengthen the
African social movements network.
– Create a space to showcase emblematic organizing experience and share lessons learnt
among movement leaders.
– Promote dialogue between movement leaders and funders to help build trust and foster
improved funding for African social movements.
In the interest of safeguarding, the venue and names of the participants will only be shared
with approved media,
