For the last 10 years, the African Centre for Leadership, Strategy & Development (Centre LSD) has consistently worked to sustain our commitments to transform Nigeria and Africa. In this first decade of establishment, the Centre has tried to proffer solutions to the three fundamental challenges to Africa’s development, which are, absence of a dynamic, strategic and visionary leadership; absence of or inappropriate strategies and inappropriate development approaches.

The leadership and management of Centre LSD recognized the need for a strategic plan to provide the basis and guidance for its action(s). The first Strategic Plan (2013-2017) was developed in 2013 to promote organizational effectiveness and improve the systems and structures of the Centre. Prior to its expiration in December 2017, a strategic review was done and then the development of the second Strategic Plan commenced with the overarching philosophy of carefully delineating a course of action to guide the operations of the Centre for the next five years (2019-2023).
