TrustAfrica, a Dakar-based foundation, has been selected to serve as the fiscal sponsor and fund administrator of the West Africa Democracy Fund (WADF), a $21.5 million multi-donor initiative aimed at countering democratic erosion in the region. In addition to Carnegie, the Fund includes Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Luminate Group, and Open Society Foundation. Over a three-year period, WADF will support citizen-led efforts to reimagine and strengthen democratic governance in seven key countries: Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Togo.
