The African Association of Political Science (AAPS) is a non-profit, non-governmental, pan-African organization of scholars founded in 1973. It has student membership and admits scholars of non-African descent and institutions as associate and corporate members, respectively. The key objectives of AAPS are to: promote the study and application of political science throughout Africa by maintaining high professional standards in teaching, research, publication and dissemination; take appropriate action on issues of social and political justice; provide assistance to independent African governments, individuals and organizations; and promote and protect the professional and other concerns of the Association and its members. AAPS defends the human rights of individuals and organizations, with particular emphasis on academic freedom and the rights of women and minorities. It also offers the technical expertise of its members to both governments and non-governmental organizations with respect to institutional capacity building, human resource management, governance, and policy analysis and conflict resolution.
