ABOUT CAPPA AFRICA

Our Vision

A continent where development is designed and led by Africans—demanding accountability, upholding human rights, promoting social justice, and ensuring harmony with the environment.

Our Approach is straightforward - We advocate for Justice and Equality

Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa (CAPPA) works to advance human rights, challenge corporate abuse of our natural resources and build community power for inclusive development and participatory governance.

Africa is about the most unequal continent on our planet, with the widest income [second only to Latin America], and wealth [second only to Asia-Pacific region] inequalities in the world.
