An independent think and do tank in Accra, cultivating an African tradition of grand strategy.
It requires the ability to anticipate change, understand power, integrate knowledge, cultivate cultural confidence and make choices that serve enduring national and continental interests.
The Centre for Grand Strategy and Cultural Development, Ghana emerges from that conviction. It brings together scholars, policymakers, diplomats, business leaders, cultural thinkers and practitioners to explore the strategic questions that will shape Africa's place in the world.
