Our Programmes
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 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.
Our Regions, Centres and Coverage
