The West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network (WADEMOS) together with its collaborators, CDD-Ghana, Yiaga Africa, AWO Hub, and Africtivistes, successfully launched DemoCreatives, in Lagos, Nigeria on June 21, 2024.
Democreatives is an initiative designed to harness creatives’ unique talents and influence – musicians, poets, actors, playwrights and artists – to promote and advocate for democratic principles and good governance practices in Ghana and Africa. Through a series of targeted workshops, collaborative campaigns, public forums and concerts, this project seeks to engage the creative community in the promotion of democracy and good governance – civic participation, transparency, and accountability.
To provide creatives with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand and engage with democratic processes and to inspire and facilitate active citizenship and political accountability by the creative community, Paul Osei-Kuffour took participants through a presentation on the state of democracy in West Africa.
