What is Good Governance Africa?

Good Governance Africa is a research and advocacy non-profit organisation with centres across Africa focused solely on improving governance across the continent.

GGA engages in applied research and stimulates critical debate. All our work is based on exploring and advancing the key governance principles of democracy, accountability and transparency, and combining these with upholding the rule of law and respecting human, civil and property rights.

Centres and coverage

Presently GGA has four operational centres, giving the organisation a pan-Africa reach.

Johannesburg is home to the SADC office, and takes operational responsibility for the region. Accra operates as a hub for West Africa, while the Nigerian office, dedicated to Africa’s largest nation and economy, is based in Lagos. The Zimbabwe centre (GGA-Z) operates out of Harare.

Four more centres are planned:

Addis Ababa (AU/East Africa Region)
Abidjan, Ivory Coast (Francophone)
Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo)
The Sahel Region
