Academic Courses
We are committed to offering programs and research that explores and contributes to sustainable change in leadership and governance in the continent. We work non-affirmatively to challenge the status quo in leadership and government systems and we let our students decide on the contribution they want to make to their communities.
Our academic courses are designed to contribute to nurturing transformational leaders in Africa with a human rights-based approach. The programs are steered to investigate the world in a transformational way rather than theoretically while giving a platform for participants to share experiences from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

RESEARCH
Producing research that will help shape the world.
We are eager to know “what is out there?” What can be said with evidence about Governance and Development out there? But we also want to know “Why?” – Why is the situation of Governance and Development as it is? Thus, this evidence opens the (applied science) question: “What can be done about it?” Neither theory nor research can tell us what to do. However, good research can provide us with evidence for informed decisions for change.
The Academic program focuses on inspiring students to do research in areas of interest that affect areas in Leadership and governance across sectors. We are open to collaborative research with other institutions to support our research work. We provide capacity-building workshops and recognise outstanding research publications through a recognition award certificate.
