Welcome to FES Benin

Founded in 1925 as Germany‘s first political foundation, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is a private, non-profit organisation committed to the precepts of social democracy. It bears the name of the first democratically elected president of Germany, Friedrich Ebert, preserving his legacy: the promotion of freedom, solidarity and social justice through the political process. The FES undertakes to carry out this mission in Germany and abroad through its programmes promoting political education, international cooperation, study and research. Read more

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung has been active in Benin since 1993. Today FES Benin is both a national and a regional office.

 

The principal mission of its activities in Benin is to contribute to the consolidation of the democratisation process. It aims to reach this objective by supporting its partners from politics, media, trade unions and civil society in their work. More information (in French)
