U.S. conservative groups have significantly increased spending in Africa amid a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the continent. The revelations were published by the Amsterdam-based Institute for Journalism and Social Change, which found that seventeen American groups spent $5.2 million in 2022, up 47% compared to 2019, according to an analysis of the most recent U.S. tax filings. The organizations spent a combined $16.5 million in Africa from 2019 to 2022, the report’s authors said. It may be that “they recognize they have lost the cultural wars at home and see Africa as the new frontier,” Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, a director at the institute, said in an interview in the Ghanaian capital, Accra.
