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.
