Our Mission

AFRICSIS is committed to strengthening Africa’s security landscape by bridging the gap between science, technology, and public policy. Our mission is to produce rigorous research, deliver evidence-based analysis, and provide practical policy solutions that help governments, institutions, and communities respond effectively to emerging security challenges.

In a world where threats are increasingly shaped by advanced and dual-use technologies, we work to ensure African nations can navigate risks responsibly, maximize the peaceful benefits of science, and uphold international security norms. We focus especially on issues related to:

  • Nuclear, chemical, biological, and radiological security

  • Non-proliferation and arms control

  • Space and emerging technologies

  • Dual-use scientific applications

  • Regional stability and international cooperation
