Our vision
Governance in Africa and beyond reflects the best interest of citizens and ordinary people.
Our mission
Our aim is to be a global resource for democracy promotion for governments, institutions and practitioners through knowledge creation, skills development and third sector ecosystem improvement.
Theory of Change
Our theory of change proceeds from the interplay of actions between third sector institutions, governments, private sector, and citizens. We believe that the primary responsibility for providing good governance rests with the Government. A free and thriving civic space is central in supporting the government and holding it accountable to its obligations.
Consequently, IF we generate knowledge, improve skills, facilitate spaces for comparative learning for third sector institutions and enhance their collaboration with government and private sector, then the ecosystem's effectiveness will be enhanced, and citizens’ quality of lives will be improved.
