Plateforme de Protection des Lanceurs d'Alerte Africains

The Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF) is an NGO based in France, Senegal and South Africa, staffed by experienced lawyers and journalists who offer legal services and advice to whistleblowers seeking to share information about issues in the public interest. PPLAAF seeks to defend whistleblowers, as well as strategically litigate and advocate on their behalf where their disclosures speak to the public interest of African citizens.

Since its creation in 2017, PPLAAF has supported dozens of whistleblowers from CEOs to security personnel, bankers and civil servants. PPLAAF has relocated families and provided asylum for them, conducted risk assessments, worked with governments and law enforcement officials created international investigative collaborations, and constructed lawsuits for NGOs. PPLAAF’s work permitted the disclosure of large-scale economic crimes such as depicted in the Luanda Leaks, the Lunumba papers or in the Congo Hold-Up investigations.
