ABOUT US

Who
We Are.

Spyware poses a serious and growing threat to civil society across Africa, but access to the specialised expertise needed to detect and respond to it remains unevenly distributed. Amana Africa was established to close that gap.

OUR VISION

An Africa where civil society can operate freely in secure and trusted digital environments.

OUR MISSION

To strengthen African civil society's ability to identify and address spyware risks.

Through research, capacity building, and cross-regional collaboration.

OUR OBJECTIVES

Four objectives. One connected strategy.

  • 01

    Build Regional Forensic Expertise

    Develop technical spyware forensics capacity across West, East, and Southern Africa.

  • 02

    Strengthen Cross-Sector Collaboration

    Connect organisations working on digital security and rights across borders.

  • 03

    Publish In-Depth Investigations

    Conduct and release spyware investigations with public-facing and technical reporting.

  • 04

    Produce Evidence for Accountability

    Generate research that informs policy dialogue and drives real accountability.

HOW WE WORK

Privacy-first · African-led · Evidence-based · Openly accountable

Every Amana Africa project is reviewed against these principles before any material is published or shared externally.
