The Foundation is committed to providing the tools for African civil society to hold their governments to account and to play an instrumental role in the improvement of governance across the continent.

Part of this work includes ongoing engagement with civil society around the Foundation's flagship projects.

• Foundation visit to Dakar
• Foundation visit to Accra
• Civil society activities around the launch of the 2008 Ibrahim Index
• Radio journalism around the 2009 Ibrahim Prize Ceremony

From time to time the Foundation undertakes projects and initiatives with civil society that fall outside of its core activities. These projects are undertaken under the direction of the Foundation board.

• Statement on Zimbabwe
• Media monitoring
• Mandate Darfur
