...africa shaping their own narratives
The African Centre for Electoral Support (ACES) is a pioneering non-profit/apolitical entity dedicated to promoting and supporting elections, democracy, and governance (EDG) in shaping the new Africa narratives of credible, transparent, and inclusive electoral processes while mitigating misinformation and disinformation.
Recognizing the pivotal role of free, fair, and credible elections in fostering democratic governance and socio-economic development, ACES is committed to strengthening the foundations of democracy across the continent through a systemic approach.
Our vision is to see a future where every African country holds elections that are universally recognized as credible, transparent, and inclusive thereby translating into impactful governance. We aspire to create an environment where the voices of all citizens are heard, respected, and translated into meaningful governance – halting election without true democracy.
Our mission is to strengthen electoral processes, enhance democracy, and foster sustainable development across the continent. We aim to build resilient democratic institutions that reflect the will of the people and foster long-term political stability.
