About

To achieve the above, the Centre deploys research to promote a robust response to the myriad of challenges of the 21st Century global environment. In doing so, the Centre contributes to the development and promotion of policy options on any given issue of foreign and diplomatic relationships. Academic publications are a core activity of the Centre to contribute to international scholarship on Africa’s global and diplomatic relations. Conferences and symposia enable the Centre to share and exchange its projects with broader intellectual and policy communities in the broad areas of international relations, foreign policy and diplomacy, and security. The Centre provides avenues for internship and practical training for both current students and recent graduates as its contribution to the training and development of critical human resources for various Ministries, Agencies and Departments (MDAs) across Africa. It provides a resource Centre for researchers and policy makers across the African continent to engage critically in policy debates and decisions. It serves as an advisory body to public and private organizations in the field of global and diplomatic relations.
