The Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) is an independent research organisation and think-tank, focussing on Africa in its research, publications and resource library. The Institute has built a solid reputation over 40 years, combining in-depth analysis and research with topicality and policy relevance.

AISA’s mandate gives it full responsibility to conduct research on African affairs; the institute covers all topics in contemporary Africa, ranging from Politics, socio-economics and issues of development. AISA also houses one of the most impressive libraries for documentation on African affairs in the world. AISA’s researchers include some of the foremost thinkers on contemporary African affairs in the world and their research output is of a magnificent standard.

AISA’s vision is to become the independent authoritative centre of excellence for the production of knowledge on AFRICA and to promote awareness as well as the importance of unity, peace, prosperity and democracy on the African Continent.

AISA is dedicated to knowledge production, education, training and promotion of awareness on Africa, for Africans and the international community. This is achieved through independent policy analysis, the collection, processing and interpretation, and dissemination of information.
