ASG distinguishes itself from its peers by five key features:
We will offer a range of educational programmes to cater to various stages of a leader’s career: from a full-time, two-year Master’s Degree in Public Administration, to general executive courses lasting 2-3 weeks, and a range of leadership programmes for young leaders and vibrant veterans of governance spanning four to six weeks.
Research at ASG focuses on developing practical, home-grown solutions for Africa, drawing from the continent's history and political economy while promoting pan-African and regional integration. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, our research directly informs policymaking and ensures Africa's voice is represented on the global stage.
ASG is committed to strengthening the policy implementation capabilities of African leaders. By bringing together expert researchers and policymakers, ASG’s social innovation incubator will serve as the nexus for addressing emerging public policy issues and developing solutions beyond traditional government structures.
ASG’s vision is to nurture a prosperous and peaceful Africa where purpose-driven leaders are equipped with the mindsets, knowledge, and skills to drive sustainable development for all.
ASG’s mission is to nurture leaders to drive Africa’s sustainable development by providing innovative public policy education, cutting-edge research, and a platform for policy engagement that fosters transformative governance tailored to the continent’s unique values and opportunities.
Our curriculum is designed to provide a foundation of rigorous education grounded in African history and thought. Our courses, expert faculty, and practical learning opportunities are tailored for aspiring leaders passionate about sustainable development, economic growth and public service. We will offer five distinguished academic programmes designed to build governance and leadership capacities in public administration.
ASG’s flagship MPA programme will equip students with advanced skills, models, mindsets, and networks in public policy, governance, and leadership, with a curriculum grounded in African realities and global standards. It is aimed at emerging leaders committed to driving impactful and meaningful change across the continent for the public good.
Designed for mid to senior-level professionals with real-world experience seeking to gain transformative leadership and governance skills, knowledge, and networks to help them become more effective leaders in understanding, solving, and taking on complex and bolder problems for the next phase in their careers. As the EMPA will blend remote learning with flexible in-person sessions at ASG, its flexible format allows executives to balance the programme with their professional responsibilities.
These intensive, short-term courses are tailored for senior executives seeking to deepen their knowledge, skillsets, mindset, and networks for governance, policy, and leadership. Each course will focus on critical areas of public administration and equip leaders with actionable strategies to tackle complex challenges and enhance their impact.
This prestigious fellowship is designed for leaders nearing the end of their careers who wish to leave a lasting legacy in Africa. The programme will provide a residency experience where fellows engage in reflective learning, mentorship, and knowledge-sharing to influence the continent’s future trajectory.
This programme will target high-potential recent graduates and offer a unique online and in-person learning blend. It will foster the development of young professionals poised to be Africa’s next generation of leaders, equipping them with foundational leadership skills and a deep understanding of governance.
