Partnerships And Affiliations
At Directors Institute Africa (DIA), partnership is central to driving meaningful governance reform across the continent. DIA operates on a collaborative model, recognising that building ethical, effective, and future-ready boards cannot be achieved by a single institution alone. By working closely with a diverse network of partners, DIA leverages collective expertise, resources, and influence to strengthen governance culture across sectors.
Our partners include:
• Corporates and State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) seeking to enhance board effectiveness and strategic oversight.
• Universities and business schools advancing research, director education, and leadership development.
• Professional bodies promoting continuous professional development and best practice adoption.
• Churches and faith-based organisations committed to ethical leadership and accountability.
• Development partners and DFIs supporting sustainable governance initiatives.
• Regulators and policy institutions shaping frameworks that enable good governance.
Partners benefit from a range of strategic advantages, including preferential access to DIA’s world-class training programmes, co-branding opportunities, governance advisory support, collaborative thought leadership initiatives, and visibility at DIA’s high-profile forums and events.
This partnership approach embodies DIA’s core belief: governance reform is a collective endeavour. By joining forces with organisations across sectors, DIA ensures that the journey toward stronger, more accountable, and future-ready boards is inclusive, sustainable, and impactful.
