The Accra School for Grand Strategy
Strategy that remembers where it comes from.
The Accra School is the Centre's home for learning. It exists to cultivate an African tradition of grand strategy, one that combines global intellectual engagement with cultural depth, historical consciousness and a clear sense of national and continental purpose.
Its programmes draw on the disciplines that formed the Centre: international law and diplomacy, security policy, geopolitical foresight, leadership, negotiation, management and strategic communication.
