What is Ashesi’s culture? What decisions do we make, and how do we act every day? How will the Ashesi Community help transform Africa?

Our answer --a set of guidelines for decision making and behaviour-- is grounded in Ashesi’s founding principles.  It is based on the fundamental premise that our daily actions will make all the difference in reaching the end that we seek -- that the means determine the quality of the end.
