The African Journal of Resilience, Management and Governance (AJRMG) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that advances knowledge on resilience as a property of people, organisations, institutions and systems. It treats resilience not as a slogan but as a set of capacities that research can define, measure, build and evaluate.
Africa faces overlapping risks: insecurity and violent conflict, climate shocks, economic volatility, public health emergencies and fragile institutions. Much of the published evidence on these risks still comes from outside the continent. AJRMG exists to give African and Global South scholarship a rigorous, accessible home and to connect that scholarship with the people who design policy and lead institutions.
AJRMG publishes high-quality, open access research that strengthens the resilience of communities, organisations and states in Africa and the Global South, and that links evidence to policy, management and practice.

Editorial independence
The Editor-in-Chief and the editorial board take every editorial decision. The publisher, its directors, staff, funders and partners play no part in decisions to accept or reject manuscripts. Members of the publisher's board, staff or editorial team may submit work to AJRMG, but an editor with no conflict of interest handles each such manuscript, and the author has no access to its review record.
Funding and sponsorship
The publisher meets the cost of running the journal. AJRMG may accept grants or sponsorship to support its operations or a special issue. Sponsors have no influence over editorial content or decisions. The journal labels any sponsored issue or article clearly, and every sponsored manuscript goes through the same peer review as all other submissions.
Advertising
AJRMG does not carry commercial advertising. The website may announce events and opportunities of the publisher or of partner organisations, clearly separated from editorial content.
