OCA welcomes partners and supporters to join us in the fight against kleptocracy. Ending entrenched corruption is a collective effort – we need allies from all sectors to create sustained change.
Here’s how you can partner with or support OCA
- Collaborate as an Organization
We seek partnerships with NGOs, media outlets, research institutions, and grassroots groups. By collaborating on investigations, sharing data, or co-hosting events, we can amplify each other’s efforts. For example, a media partner can help broadcast our documentaries to a wider audience, or an academic institution could work with us to analyze illicit financial flows. If your organization’s mission aligns with promoting transparency, we’d love to team up.
- Provide Financial Support
Consider becoming a financial supporter of OCA. As a donor or sponsor, your contributions directly fuel our projects – from funding local journalists to produce stories to building the PEP database and training community advocates. OCA operates on grants and donations; every dollar goes toward exposing corruption and empowering citizens. We are grateful to existing funders like NED and invite new donors to help us scale up.
- Corporate and Institutional Partnerships
Private sector actors can also play a role. We welcome ethical companies or institutions interested in supporting anti-corruption initiatives as part of their social responsibility programs. Whether it’s through funding, technology solutions (for example, tools for data analysis or secure communications), or employee volunteer expertise, there are many ways to contribute.
- Volunteer and Contribute Skills
Individuals can partner with us by contributing their expertise. Are you a lawyer, data analyst, journalist, or translator? Lend your skills pro bono to help research cases, parse complex documents, or translate content so we can reach more communities. If you’re a web developer, you might assist in improving our online platforms. Volunteers expand our capacity and we value their contributions immensely.
- Spread the Word
At a minimum, you can partner in our mission by being an ambassador for OCA’s cause. Share our stories and reports with your network. Encourage others to learn about Central Africa’s “hidden struggles” and to support transparency. Public awareness is a powerful weapon against kleptocrats – the more people know, the less these crimes can hide in the shadows.
- Why Partner with OCA?
By partnering with OCA, you become part of a regional movement for accountability. You will be supporting courageous grassroots activists and giving a platform to communities that are often overlooked.
Together, we can apply pressure from both above and below – combining international advocacy with local action – to hold leaders accountable. We offer recognition to our partners on our site and materials, and we are committed to open, mutually beneficial collaboration.
