The Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF) supports whistleblowers whose disclosures speak to the public interest of African citizens and ensure they have a greater impact

To achieve this, PPLAAF ensures that whistleblowers or potential whistleblowers can safely disclose the wrongdoing they are witnessing, that the information they provide reaches the adequate audience and impact, and that Civil Society Organisations, anti-corruption bodies, media, and citizens have the capacity to foster a positive environment for Whistleblowers
