About GRAF

GRAF provides a platform for African gaming regulators to engage on matters of common interest, exchange regulatory knowledge and experience, and collectively respond to the opportunities and challenges shaping the gaming sector.

Through collaboration, policy dialogue, research, knowledge-sharing and capacity development, GRAF seeks to strengthen regulatory effectiveness while encouraging greater consistency and cooperation across African jurisdictions.

The Forum also supports engagement with regional and international regulatory bodies and provides a platform for African regulators to participate in wider conversations affecting the future of gaming regulation.

We create opportunities for regulators across Africa to exchange information, experiences and regulatory perspectives and to strengthen cooperation between jurisdictions.
