Information
Sulemana Braimah has been the Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) since 2014. He is also the current Secretary General of the ECOWAS Civil Society Platform on Transparency and Accountability in Governance and a member of the Steering Committee of the African Network of Free Expression Organisations (AFEX).
As Executive Director of MFWA, his work has redefined accountability journalism and strengthened democratic institutions across the region. His landmark achievement is the founding of The Fourth Estate in 2021, Ghana's first independent, non-profit investigative journalism platform. This initiative has exposed corruption, led to the prosecution of public officials and forced judges, MPs and civil servants to comply with asset declaration laws. The project won him the 2023 Eisenhower Fellowships' James and Carol Hovey Impact Award, recognising his role in promoting transparency and governance. He led MFWA to win the 2024 World Justice Challenge Award for promoting the rule of law through the media.
Sulemana's journalistic roots include a tenure as news editor at The Chronicle (2002-2007 in Ghana), where he honed his commitment to accountability reporting. His academic background includes an M.Phil in Communication Studies and a degree in Sociology with Philosophy from the University of Ghana. Through tireless advocacy and groundbreaking initiatives, Sulemana Braimah is helping to shape a media landscape where truth and accountability thrive.
