On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, a high-level delegation from the African Democratic Alliance for Freedom and Progress (ADAFP) paid a one-day working visit to Rev. Alvin E. Attah Sr., President of AME University (AMEU).
ADAFP is a Pan-African organization committed to identifying, training, and mentoring the next generation of liberal democratic leaders in Africa, with a particular focus on youth and women.
The delegation included Mohamadou Faye, ADAFP Deputy President from Senegal; Eddie Jarwolo, Executive Director of NAYMOTE-Liberia who is also ADAFP General Secretary and Adil Abdel Aati, ADAFP Deputy Secretary General from Sudan.
Other members of the delegation were Dr. Francis Oke, former Head of ECOWAS Election Missions and ADAFP Elections Commissioner and William Dowkopor, Executive Director of Free Trade Network Africa (FTNA) and a senior researcher at the ADAFP Think Tank in Ghana.
The visit focused on exploring opportunities for AMEU to host the ADAFP Leadership Training Academy in Liberia, which is dedicated to developing emerging leaders in politics, governance, democracy, and Pan-African studies.
In brief remarks, Mamadou Faye, ADAFP Deputy President, said the organization is seeking a partnership with AME University because of the institution’s strong performance and international recognition.
In response, AMEU President Rev. Alvin E. Attah Sr. said the university remains committed to building partnerships that strengthen human resource development, promote democratic governance, and foster a culture of accountability in Liberia, across Africa and the global community.

Big opportunities begin with powerful conversations, and this is your chance to be in the room where leadership, diplomacy, global development, and career transformation meet.
