About West Africa Elders Forum

Over the years since establishment, GFJ has successfully implemented projects in the country and also various African countries targeted towards building democratic accountability, strengthening governance and building leadership towards ensuring transparent and peaceful transition of power.

As parts of efforts to advance democratic consolidation on the continent and especially in West Africa, GJF instituted a home-grown, credible platform called the West African Elders Forum consisting of former leaders and statesmen who will provide mediation and interlocutory role in addressing electoral and democratic conflict in the region including the current disruptions occasioned by covid19 pandemic. This Forum was officially inaugurated on the 4th of March 2021.
