About Us
Our mission
The mission of the African Academy of Diplomacy is to provide a platform for networking, sharing ideas, and skills training, which help shape, improve and inspire a new generation of enlightened African leaders committed to undertaking responsibility for both better Africa and better world.
Our values
Transparency and Dialogue
At AAD we are committed to creating an environment, which assures that every voice is heard and every contribution to the discussion is valued. An environment of mutual respect which fosters trust, stimulates progress and brings to the table new ideas required for positive change.
Co-ownership
A better world cannot emerge without assuming global responsibility. For this very reason AAD programs and activities evolve around the idea that each of us individually is responsible for the common good. Co-ownership is also the backbone of our programs, which provide our participants with the opportunity to shape and influence their learning experience as they go.
Empowerment
By creating an open, transparent and truly international environment for leaders, the AAD strives to assure that participants feel empowered, as they graduate from our programs. By providing a network of like-minded and inspirational individuals, as well as by offering the participants much-needed skills, we hope to strengthen the belief that change does come from within.
Ethical Engagement
At AAD we are engaged in making Africa a better place by providing like-minded future leaders with inspiration, skills and network opportunities, as well as promoting growth beyond oneself. Our ethical engagement aims first and foremost at reinforcing democracy, human rights, and rule of law Africa wide, by contributing to peacebuilding, mediation, policy making and producing new leaders.
