Research Programme
This is the backbone of AfriCOG’s work. For the plan period, AfriCOG will reinforce its research capacities through progressive development of its pool of researchers, research collaborations and products. The emphasis on policy relevance underscores the applied nature of the research that AfriCOG will undertake.
Advocacy / Policy Partnership Programme
AfriCOG knows that its work cannot succeed without strong and reliable partnerships within and outside the civil society sector to revitalise and sustain the anti-corruption and good governance campaign. It envisions a variety of partnerships, including:-Standing partnerships on enduring thematic issues and processes such as fiscal transparency, whistle-blower protection and investigative journalism, ad hoc partnerships formed to mobilise for transient governance and public ethics issues and sessional partnerships and alliances formed to track and lobby particular institutions such as Parliament.
Dissemination and Linkages
This component services the foregoing components by creating avenues for publicising the results of work. The focus is to provide relevant, objective, accessible and professionally packaged information to a variety of stakeholders to suit identified information needs.
Institutional Strengthening
AfriCOG’s vision is to foster permanent civic vigilance. To this end, AfriCOG must build long-term knowledge generation and information brokerage capacity and standing advocacy capacity.
