African Centre for Governance
Strategic Governance for a Sustainable African Future
Welcome to the African Centre for Governance, a premier Pan-African strategy, governance, and advisory firm headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. We exist to transform governance landscapes across Africa through innovative public sector solutions, strategic advisory, and thought leadership that empower institutions, strengthen democracy, and shape a more sustainable future. As the continent faces complex socio-economic and political challenges, the need for evidence-based governance and accountable leadership has never been more critical. At the African Centre for Governance, we partner with African governments, development institutions, and civil society to craft and implement robust governance strategies that drive measurable impact.
