Organisers of IMAGINE AFRICA

The Goree Institute was launched in 1992 by Senegal's Former President Abdou Diouf, as one of the consequences of the so-called "Dakar Meeting" between exiled ANC leaders and predominantly Afrikaans-speaking professionals from South Africa. An independent, Pan-African, Public Interest Organisation (PIO), the Goree Institute is a facilitative organisation which builds alliances around the objectives of promoting electoral reform, peace building, community development and cultural development in Africa: certain projects have a continental, regional or country specific focus.
