The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF Africa) is an independent German organisation that is committed to promoting liberal policy and politics around the world in the form of human rights, the rule of law, democracy, innovation, digitalisation and free trade.

We have offices in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Harare, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Abidjan and Dakar.
