The Pan African Dialogue Institute’ services to the continent and its members are encapsulated in 10 commissions. They are created to be the vehicles and catalysts for achieving the Institute’s objectives. Thus, commissions are working groups and program implementing organs of the Institute. Although each unit or commission remains functionally distinct, they are interconnected teams that form the corporate ecosystem.
Everyone admitted into membership of the Institute chooses or is assigned to one or two commissions based on the person’s expertise and interests. Each commission is led by a team of three – director, deputy director and secretary. We welcome your company in our strive to serve our beloved continent.
