About Us
THE FOSDA STORY
The concept of FOSDA originated from a group of Africans in the diaspora passionate about the security and development of the their continent. Their pre-occupation was to change the African narrative in relation to peace and security, at a time when Africa was in the news for mostly negative reasons including war and conflicts.
The group consisted of Africans from various countries including Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, South Africa, Kenya among others. Most of them were exiled from their respective countries for typically political reasons.
