Co-applicants

ACTUA’s action is coordinated by Transparency International Portugal, with Bocamandja Theater Company and the Association for the Support of African Women (ASAMA) as co-applicants.

Bocamandja Theater Company

Theater company formed by young Equatorial Guineans whom, during the fifteen years of its existence, have performed works by national and international authors. Their works have traveled throughout the national and international territory with the aim of promoting theater in Guinea Equatorial. They have disseminated works by national, African, Ibero-American and European authors to increase social awareness on gender issues, public health, human rights and environmental issues, as well as reflecting on the transition between tradition and modernity. During these fifteen years, Bocamandja has managed to imprint African personality in its works, adding avant-garde and tradition to their creations. In recent years, Bocamandja has worked with various national and international institutions. In addition, since 2015 they have decided to hold functions in schools and colleges as a strategy to involve young people, thus also involving the governing bodies of those schools, whose work will be decisive so that the awareness-raising functions can be carried out regularly. To this end, they created and also coordinate the National School Theater Festival. They have 20 members in Malabo, 2 on the island of Annobon and 4 in the city of Bata, on the mainland of the country.

Association for the Support of African Women (ASAMA)

ASAMA develops work related to women’s rights and has a wide implementation in the city of Bata. ASAMA will be able to influence in a relevant way in the continental region and in the awareness of the authorities by sending effective proposals in the area of women’s protection. They work with approximately 50 volunteers and their work in the fight against the spread of COVID-19 in the Continental Region should be highlighted due to its relevance. On the other hand, it has also been the reference organization for humanitarian assistance after the explosions in a barracks in the city of Bata, on March 7. Their own facilities were also affected.
