The PLA and its affiliates develop and execute country-specific initiatives that, following an initial phase of co-financing through instruments such as impact investing, are capable of sustaining themselves financially. To guarantee long-term viability, a combination of charitable and commercial elements is employed.

The organisational structure is locally focused, with the flexibility to respond to rapidly changing project needs. In close cooperation with external partners, Project Lighthouse Africa gathers the necessary know-how for the successful implementation of the identified projects.

With Narrative Management for Peace through Dialogue (NAMA4PD), Project Lighthouse Africa has developed a science-based approach to strengthen the information literacy of the population in conflict-prone countries in West Africa.

This approach is intended to contribute on a scientific basis to combating propaganda, disinformation and hate speech, which are currently threatening the stability of many countries in the region.

Project Lighthouse Africa is a registered association based in Berlin, Germany.
