WHO WE ARE
PLACE – Peace and Liberation in Africa through Change and Engagement
The African network PLACE promoted by Libera. Associazioni, nomi e numeri contro le mafie in collaboration with partners from across Africa, was officially launched in 2023 in Grand Bassam, Côte d’Ivoire.
PLACE fosters cooperation among Civil Society Organisations engaged in fighting organized crime, corruption, and bad governance, while promoting peace, equity, and solidarity throughout African societies.
A hunger for justice and truth
PLACE works in close synergy with academic, judicial, and institutional actors, and, where possible, with reliable and responsible grassroots organizations. Criminal networks act globally, so must our responses.
Beyond law enforcement cooperation, we believe that civil society must take the lead in reshaping Africa’s future through collective action and a shared hunger for justice and truth.
