Global Democracy Forum Africa 2025

The Global Democracy Coalition (GDC) African Regional Forum 2025, organized by The Youth Cafe, is a flagship event focused on addressing the intersection of democracy, human rights, and environmental justice in Africa. This regional dialogue aims to explore how democratic governance can effectively tackle environmental challenges while upholding human rights, emphasizing the pivotal role of youth leadership and grassroots activism.

As Africa faces disproportionate impacts from climate change and environmental degradation, this forum will spotlight the urgent need for democratic resilience and renewal to combat these crises. The event will bring together policymakers, civil society leaders, youth activists, and international organizations to share best practices, foster collaboration, and craft actionable solutions for democratic and environmental sustainability.

The sub-theme, “Combating Corruption as a Catalyst for Democratic Renewal and Environmental Resilience,” underscores the critical need to address corruption as a systemic barrier to governance and justice.

The forum will feature a combination of keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive breakout sessions, culminating in the development of practical recommendations to strengthen democratic governance across Africa.
