Paul Ango Ela Foundation

The Paul Ango Ela Foundation, founded in 1999, is a Cameroonian non-governmental organization dedicated to the promotion of democratic governance, human rights and sustainable development in Central Africa. It bears the name of Paul Ango Ela, a Cameroonian intellectual and geopoliticologist engaged in the struggle for independence and social justice.

The Foundation conducts awareness-raising, training and advocacy programmes on issues such as good governance, citizen participation and sustainable management of natural resources. It works with local organizations, government institutions and international partners to build community capacity and promote inclusive public policies.

As part of GLOGORENA, the Paul Ango Ela Foundation brings its expertise in governance and citizen participation. His in-depth knowledge of the local context and political dynamics in Central Africa is valuable in ensuring that the solutions proposed by the project are adapted and accepted by local communities. By way of illustration, in November 2024, a workshop co-organised with the PAFE brought together representatives of the CSOs engaged in the region, marking an important step in integrating local voices into our projects.
