The goal is to conduct a systematic analysis of the overall governance of African countries, including their political systems, public policies, and the structure and function of civil society. By combining this analysis with empirical methodologies such as citizen awareness surveys, the research aims to analyze changes in African society and policy demands from various perspectives.
The Center provides basic data for policymaking through local opinion polls, panel surveys, and field research in Africa. It also functions as a policy-linked knowledge hub that leverages interdisciplinary research and global networks to build an effective and sustainable cooperative system between Korea and Africa.
