Alliance For Finance Monitoring – Fostering Transparent and Accountable Political Financing

ACFIM is a Pan African civil society organization founded in Uganda to contribute towards building electoral integrity through monitoring money in politics and election campaigns; engaging the electorate on electoral accountability; and advocating for feasible reforms. ACFIM believes that sustainable democracy may not be realized if the question of money in politics and electoral processes is not addressed. ACFIM strives to address the gap where political finance stands out as one of the most under-researched and under-legislated subject in Africa.
