About African Liberty
African Liberty began as a joint effort of the Cato Institute and IMANI Africa in 2007 and was later renamed the Atlas Network. It’s a forum for promoting individual liberty, peace, and prosperity in Africa by encouraging civil discourse and debate on social, legal, economic, and global problems that impact Africans.
They collaborate with Africa-focused think tanks and partner media outlets to find and educate young talented African freedom activists in professional journalistic writing and to help them launch careers in journalism and policy. They create and promote original reporting, interviews, and opinions to foster substantial debate among Africans and between Africa and the rest of the globe.
They fulfill these tasks via a network of young writers, researchers, and commentators who cover a wide range of themes, including human rights, free speech, economic development, technology, criminal justice, entrepreneurship, and much more.
