About Mzalendo Trust
Mzalendo Trust was founded in 2013, with an endeavour to promote public participation, openness and inclusivity in the decision-making process. Mzalendo seeks to bridge the gap between policymaking and citizen participation. Mzalendo seeks to contribute to the implementation of digital rights and access to information legal regimes. The organization seeks to creatively and constructively inform the evolving digital rights and access to information discourse. It aims to boost civic awareness on digital rights and access to information and to increase civic engagement in improving corresponding regulation.

About the project
ReCIPE (Recentering the Civic Internet through Partner Engagement) is an Oxfam-led multi-country and multi-annual project supported by the European Union (EU). Launched in mid-2024, the project is currently being implemented over a three-year period in ten countries across the world—namely Senegal, Tunisia, Kenya, Somalia, Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), Uganda, Cambodia, Vietnam, El Salvador, and Bolivia."The project aims to cultivate a rights-respecting digital ecosystem that is value-based, human- centric and safe for civil society actors and human rights defenders.” ReCIPE’s three specific objectives feeding into the overall goal are: 1) increase collaboration between the ‘Global South’ and ‘Global North’ to create vibrant and safe online civic spaces, 2) improve digital rights mechanisms and policies that make governments and corporate actors accountable, and 3) foster equitable access to safe and secure online social and political activities.
In this regard, we would like to facilitate engagements around the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (the Malabo Convention).
