About AFCA + BS
Our Vision

Our Mission
To facilitate study, research, advocacy, policy support, scholarly dissemination, and academic exchange opportunities in Asia in Africa.
About Us
We believe positive, ethical leaders change the world. Based on this belief, the Center was established in 2021 as a non-political global research Center for public interests founded to minister to students of all ages on science and technology, peace and conflict resolution, and South East Asian history, culture, and Leadership Development Studies.
Our instructors all believe leadership can be learned, and guided in the Center leadership curriculum, Bangladeshi history, and cultural knowledge skills to help every student become the strongest leader he or she can be for Africa. AfCA +BS and the Center instructors are experienced leaders, and they are passionate educators. They possess a blend of technical skills competence and teaching abilities, and they genuinely enjoy interacting with groups of people. Bangabandhu Center operates on the firm belief that learning should be fun, something our instructors will exemplify.
With courses ranging from 7 days to a full academic year, we attract highly motivated students who want to learn how to lead. AfCA +BS graduates have everything needed to lead others in the backcountry, as well as the leadership ability to excel at work or in the classroom. The Center, courses are demanding because we believe people thrive when challenged. Our hands-on, learn-by-doing approach means our graduates get the skills they need to be competent for next-generation leadership.
