Leadership
A lean, evolutive architecture functions first, appointments as the work grows.
How AfriCore is organised.
AfriCore has a lean institutional structure, supported by strong governance, professional operational management and access to a global network of specialised expertise. Some functions are to be filled, and others will be created or strengthened as activity grows. The aim is a credible, professional, international house that remains agile.

Four complementary expressions of the mission.
AfriCore is designed as a flexible and evolving institutional platform. Over time, the organisation will progressively develop four complementary platforms, creating an integrated ecosystem for strategic advisory, research, leadership development and high-level dialogue. This progressive model allows AfriCore to build institutional depth and credibility while remaining agile and responsive to the needs of its partners. They are not four departments with a heavy administrative structure.
