Why a dedicated anti-corruption programme?
We’ve joined the Coalition for the International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC) as a Convening Partner. Our mission is to raise awareness and build support across Africa for the treaty that will establish this vital institution to enforce the law against the crimes of corruption as defined in the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). For a more in-depth exploration of the merits of establishing an IACC, please read our special edition of Africa in Fact here.

Good Governance Africa’s research covers the following topics
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. It aims to build expertise in conflict resolution, mediation, and assessing the societal impact of conflict, ultimately transforming how communities engage with peace and security.
This programme is aiming to drive inclusive economic growth and strengthen rule of law, this programme focuses on property rights, business investment, combating corruption, and facilitating trade. It seeks to improve institutional frameworks to support sustainable economic development and enhance public and private sector ethics.
This programme tackles the challenges of resource governance and the impacts of climate change. It connects extractive industries to green industrialisation, promotes environmental justice, and anticipates the climate-conflict nexus, aiming to educate and engage communities for a sustainable future.
Dedicated to harnessing technology for societal good, this programme addresses the challenges of digitalisation and artificial intelligence while combating disinformation. It focuses on protecting vulnerable populations from online harms and fostering informed and responsible digital citizenry.
GGA is committed to addressing Africa’s growing disaffection and lack of engagement with democracy through the Advocates for Good Governance Programme (AGGP). The AGGP encourages citizens to actively participate in the governance process, both during and between election cycles, to foster a more engaged and responsive democracy.
