The Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance at the University of Cape Town (UCT) seeks to develop and inspire African leaders who will rise to the continent’s opportunities and challenges by becoming leaders for social transformation.

Our academic programmes aim:
•    to support institutions across the governance spectrum by building capability and capacity, 
•    to contribute to the development of sound policy through evidence and bridging theory with practice,  and 
•    to instil leadership values, thinking, and skills through our practice informed and evidence based programmes.
