We are an ethics-driven African institution advancing discourses on reparatory justice, human rights and democracy.
Today is #DemocracyDay.

Democracy thrives on people’s voices, choices & participation — but faces disinformation, shrinking civic space & inequalities.

“From Voice to Action” is a call to protect rights, build trust & reimagine democracy that works for all.

Earlier this week, we joined the Pan-African Parliament’s Consultation on the Draft Model Law on #GenderEquality & Equity in Africa.

From #GBV & harmful practices to political representation, economic inclusion & digital equity, this process is key to closing gaps & advancing justice.

Yesterday, the world marked the International Day for People of #AfricanDescent.

This is more than a day; it’s a continuation of the struggle for truth, justice & reparations. At RI, we are anchored on the 5Rs: Reconnection, Re-education, Repair, Resistance & Rebuilding.

#EnforcedDisappearance silences dissent, scars families, and erodes trust in society.

On this international day, we honour victims by demanding truth, reparations, justice, & reforms for lasting cohesion

Silence is the weapon. Disappearance the crime. Remembrance our resistance.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic Adansi helicopter crash on August 6, 2025, which claimed the lives of Defence Minister Dr. Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Dr. Murtala Mohammed, and six others. We extend our condolences to all those affected and join Ghana in mourning.

Reform Initiatives applaud the African Union’s decision to extend the reparations theme from 2025 to a full Decade of Reparations (2026–2036). This shows a strong commitment to justice and repair for Africans and the diaspora. Congrats to H.E. John Mahama for leading this vital cause.
