We are proud to be a sponsor of CAUSTIVAL 2026, supporting critical conversations on democracy, civic participation, and accountability beyond elections.

Following the screening of The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos, our Head of Communications and Knowledge Management, Nnenna Eze will join a panel discussion on “Democracy Beyond Elections.”

The conversation will explore what sustains democracy after election cycles end, from citizen accountability and institutional resilience to the role of culture and civic participation.

At The PPDC, we remain committed to strengthening democratic accountability beyond the ballot box and supporting platforms that keep these conversations alive.
