Tournons La Page

Tournons La Page

Tournons La Page (TLP) is an international citizens' movement, bringing together nearly 250 organisations, which leads and relays actions to promote democratic change and the defence of human rights. In ten countries (Burundi, Cameroon, Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Guinea, Niger, DRC, Chad, Togo) our coalitions carry out peaceful and non-partisan actions to contribute to the democratic future of their country. In France, the International Secretariat supports the coalitions: training, coordination and animation of the network, lobbying and advocacy, media presence, protection of activists... Tournons La Page first came into being as an international campaign launched on 15 October 2014 with an appeal entitled "In Africa as elsewhere, no democracy without change" signed by 550 organisations and personalities from Africa and Europe. In 2019, it became an international citizens' movement with a legal existence and elective governance bodies. Tournons La Page (TLP) is today an international network of reference on the issue of democratic processes in Africa, awarded the Prix des Droits de la République Française in 2018 and the African Movement of the Year Award in 2020.
