Our Good Governance approach:

Our approach includes engagement with justice sector institutions, the parliament, and the executive arms of government on issues related to rule of law, peace and security, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, combatting of financing of terrorism, gender equality and building of partnerships across different sectors. This approach will include capacity building, development of national strategies and integrity pillars, and development of policy briefs, legal and regulatory frameworks in line with international standards and conventions. 

The African Center will take a deliberate approach to connect governance to the people through the promotion of the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by the governments of African countries while working closely with relevant national, regional, and international organizations. The Center will also use the World Bank Indicators of Governance, namely Voice and Accountability, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, Control of Corruption, Political Stability/Absence of Violence/Terrorism and Government Effectiveness as tools to conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of governance situations in African countries. Our Governance approach will embed women’s access to quality education, access to justice and economic empowerment tools as a cross-cutting issue and will rely on findings from womenconnect initiatives as a basis to change social norms, create economic opportunities, design technologies that address women needs, and develop community support for women.
