Mission

Centre LSD works with forces of positive change to empower citizens to transform society. It promotes ideas, policies and actions that will lead to transformative change in Africa, facilitates leadership development and strategic thinking, promotes human-centred and sustainable development, and collaborates with individuals, organisations, networks, coalitions and movements to help achieve its objectives.

Centre LSD supports the growth and sustainability of organisations that align with its mission and values and provides expertise and resources to organisations that lack the capacity to manage their finances and administration in-house. It aims to provide high-quality financial management and administrative services to hosted organisations, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and financial best practices, build solid relationships, provide personalised support, contribute to their success and sustainability, and promote collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
