About Us

The African Center for Governance, Asset Recovery, and Sustainable Development (“the African Center”) is an independent civil society organization headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria. The Center works with national governments, international and regional organizations, and non-governmental organizations to promote good governance, sustainable development, and the rule of law. We work to foster national and international cooperation in the recovery and return of proceeds of corruption and illicit financial flow to fill funding gaps for implementing the SDGs. The African Center shares the view that returning stolen assets will enable countries in the global South, particularly Africa, to build a foundation for prosperity, and good governance.
