Peace and Security

Focused on enhancing regional stability, this programme collaborates with the African Union and Southern African Development Community to address emerging threats through innovative research and peace initiatives.

Governance Insights and Analytics

Our Regions, Centres and Coverage

Good Governance Africa operates centres across Africa for pan-African reach. Each of our centres is operated by a local team with local knowledge to offer context-driven interventions in our united mission to enhance governance across the continent.

Horn of Africa Regional Office

Good Governance Africa-Horn of Africa Regional Office (GGA-HoA) is located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where the headquarters of the African Union and Economic Commission for Africa are also situated. This GGA regional office is dedicated to working in Eastern Africa and liaising with the African Union.

Nigeria Regional Office

Good Governance Africa – Nigeria aims to contribute to good governance, through research, policy engagement and other activities that help promote sustainable socio-economic development in Africa’s largest economy and most populous country.

Southern Africa Regional Office

Over the past year, GGA-SARO has been redefining our approach to maximise impact. Recognising the limitations of traditional top-down strategies, we are transitioning from a think-tank to a do-tank, employing both top-down and bottom-up methods. This dual approach expands our reach, involving direct engagement in community programmes such as our girl child project, born from identifying challenges faced by African girls. This shift ensures our research is grounded in reality, enhancing our credibility and effectiveness.

West Africa Regional Office

Good Governance Africa – West Africa (GGA-WA) strongly believes that a democratic society with a proactive practice of transparency, accountability and the rule of law is on the right development pathway. GGA-WA, therefore, is deliberate in promoting these ideals in its programmes and activities across different sectors in Ghana and in other selected West African countries.
