The CPAS is a strategic studies centre based at the Hume Institute Lausanne emphasizing engagement and knowledge exchange with researchers and practitioners engage with the critical evaluation of the potential of the African continent.Our Vision is to create an arena for refining understanding and appreciation of the continent’s contribution to the existential challenges facing our planet and for identifying and managing the barriers and pathways to Pan-African synergies and to appreciate difference and diversity as resources in a global community.The concept of Pan-Africanism has evolved over centuries, both inside and outside the continent. In the current century collaborative initiatives are appearing across Africa to meet the geographical and institutional challenges to innovation, productivity and development facing a continent rich in the resources key to the ‘green transition’ necessitated by the global climate crisis. African nations are confronted both by the consequences of climate change and related conflict over forced migration and by growing competition over the resources demanded by the technologies required for global climate transition.The new collaborative economic and political structures emerging at regional level contrast with the increasingly polarised domestic and international politics evident in the global North. However, the former require the exploration of the technical, economic, political and institutional barriers and opportunities that must be negotiated in order to move, via existing regional economic initiatives, towards the African Union Agenda 2063 goal of an African Continental Free Trade Area.The Centre offers researchers and policymakers engaging with these issues the space and opportunity to explore theory and policy aimed at building the capacity required for balanced development in terms of the ‘social cohesion’ or ‘harmonious society’ promoted by West and East respectively.

Learners discover their potential, connect with a supportive group of active learners, and jointly begin a journey in pursuit of their calling. Although learning at Osiri University is based on community, cooperation, and co-prosperity, which are values that are captured in the spirit of Ubuntu, we still encourage healthy competition amongst students.Osiri University’s mission is to deliver quality global education (with a local feel) at a sufficient scale to create a better world within the context of Ubuntu. We coach learners to their strengths as they concentrate on developing their core values and mastering the knowledge they need to make a difference.
