As an independent apolitical organization, our mission is to encourage African public sector organizations in being prepared to tackle today's and tomorrow's complex problems by supporting them in their cultural and technological transformation under consideration of their local context. By combining different disciplines, ranging from computer science, political science, public management, and law, our intent is to strengthen public sector organizations' effectiveness and smartness as public problem-solvers. At the same time, we strive to establish a platform that allows new approaches in the development of theories in organization studies and Public Management by studying the rather underexplored African context and particular African public sector organizations in transformation to smart public value governance.
