I understand that the Democracy Works Foundation (DWF) together with its partners seek, through the Charter Project Africa, to promote the African Charter on Democracy and Elections and Governance (ACDEG). They aim to use digital democracy technologies to strengthen participatory democracy. It would also appear that civic education lies at the heart of their work.
The ACDEG is inspired by the objectives and principles enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union, particularly Articles 3 and 4, which emphasize the significance of good governance, popular participation, the rule of law and human rights. It seeks among other things to entrench a political culture of constitutional change of government based on the holding of periodic free and fair elections.
