Our ideas. Our voices. Africa’s future.

We are a 2026 Africa Smart Bets finalist. This milestone brings our work on women’s rights to a wider stage and strengthens our commitment to turn women’s lived experiences into evidence that shapes policy.

HER Voice: from women’s experiences to policy influence

Through HER Voice: Scaling Liberty and Policy Power Across Africa (SLAP Africa), we are building a digital space where women can understand their rights, connect with advocates, and bring their experiences into policy conversations across Uganda, Ghana, and Morocco.

At the heart of this achievement are the women whose experiences guide our work on property rights, economic rights, and individual liberties. Our HER Voice Digital Hub connects this work with legal literacy and civic participation.
