The West Africa Public Interest Litigation Center (WAPILC) based in Abuja, Nigeria, was developed as a collaborative initiative between the Foundation, its partners, and a broad range of civil society organizations, including key stakeholders in the sub-region.

WAPILC seeks to promote human rights by improving the rule of law and access to justice for citizens of the sub-region.
