African Forum on Religion and Government (AFREG)
The purpose of the African Forum on Religion and Government (AFREG) is to build a movement of African leaders of integrity who are committed to transforming Africa into a Premier Continent based on God-centered values.
AFREG 1, in partnership with the Christian Association of Nigeria, the International Leadership Foundation (ILF) conducted the inaugural AFREG conference, in Abuja, Nigeria from July 25-28, 2006.
Bringing together nearly 200 key leaders, representing 27 African countries, from the church, education, business, non-governmental organizations, government leaders and two Heads of State, the event resulted in commitments to remain involved in moving to transform Africa.
Since 2006, both regional and national initiatives have been implemented. AFREG 1 members from Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Angola, the Republic of Congo and Nigeria have formed task forces and groups to plan and conduct local events, as well as large-scale leadership conferences to promote and grow this transformational movement.
