Africa Liberal Network Information

The Africa Liberal Network is made up of 34 parties and organisations from 25 African countries, and is an associated organisation of Liberal International, the political family to which liberal democratic parties belong. The ALN aims to promote liberal democratic objectives and principles throughout the African continent. Our vision is of a prosperous and integrated Africa of flourishing democracies that are at peace with one another, in which every person has the right and opportunity to fulfil their potential and be what they want to be. The ALN is a respected and influential advocate of liberal ideas on the African continent which seeks to empower liberal parties to grow their support, to increase their influence on politics and to implement liberal policies when in government. The parties involved in the network are bound by a policy stating that they exist to ensure the freedom and dignity of all people through establishing political and civil rights, ensuring basic freedoms, the rule of law, democratic government based on free and fair elections with peaceful transition, ensuring religious, gender, and minority rights, fighting corruption, and establishing free market economies.
