02 · WHY IT MATTERS
“
When Africa investigates its own, civic space holds.
Spyware technologies are actively used to target journalists, human rights defenders, and civil society organisations, compromising their privacy, safety, and ability to operate. When Africans have the capacity to investigate these threats themselves, civic space strengthens, fundamental rights are protected, and real pressure for accountability follows.
03 · THE CONSORTIUM
Three regions.
One mission.
Amana Africa is delivered through a partnership between three regional organisations working at the intersection of digital security, research, and advocacy.
