About the Blavatnik School of
Government
Founded at the University of Oxford in
2010, the Blavatnik School of Government exists to
inspire and support better government and public
policy around the world. We teach current and future
public leaders through innovative programmes,
conduct deep research into pressing issues facing
policy makers around the world, and convene leaders
and experts to foster better public policy. With a
strong global outlook, we combine insights from a
range of academic disciplines and derive lessons
from the public, private and third sectors. The
School was made possible through a £75 million
donation to the University of Oxford by American
philanthropist Leonard Blavatnik.

About the Africa
Initiative for Governance (AIG)
Africa's poor
record of public sector governance is a factor that
currently prevents the Continent from achieving its
true potential.
AIG’s pioneering initiative
brings proven private sector innovation, leadership
and funding in a private-public partnership to
attract, inspire and support future leaders of
Africa’s public sector. With AIG’s continuing
support, high-calibre individuals will be able to
drive best practice standards of governance in
Africa, ensuring sustainable economic growth and
social justice.
