Africa Democracy Forum
The Africa Democracy Forum (ADF) "is an African regional network of democracy, human rights, and governance organizations. We seek to consolidate democracy in Africa by providing opportunities for democrats to openly express their views and acting as a platform for mutual support and the sharing of resources." [1]
At least Ghana member Imani is a free-trade proponent with ties to libertarian organizations like Instituto Bruno Leoni, The Heritage Foundation, International Policy Network and others[1].
