GIBS has achieved yet another milestone by receiving accreditation from the Association of African Business Schools (AABS), further solidifying the School’s position as a leader in business education on the continent.
This significant accreditation, in addition to its existing Triple Crown accreditation status from EQUIS, AMBA, and AACSB, highlights GIBS' commitment to excellence on the African continent and dedication to providing world-class education.
This accreditation amplifies the School’s continued high-quality business and management education in Africa. The AABS accreditation, which is rooted in African values and tailored to local contexts, benchmarks African institutions to foster continuous improvement and excellence, shaping the African concept of management education. To achieve this accreditation, GIBS had to undergo a rigorous evaluation process which looked at its mission, programmes, facilities, and its potential societal impact through faculty, research, and alumni engagement. Furthermore, it evaluated the School's ability to promote responsible management practices, enhance student skills, develop faculty expertise, and contribute to the advancement of business and management knowledge in Africa.
GIBS Dean, Professor Morris Mthombeni, expressed pride in this accomplishment, saying, “This accolade marks a significant milestone in our journey towards excellence on the African continent. We remain committed to fostering innovation, critical thinking, and ethical leadership among our students, empowering them to make meaningful contributions to society and growth of the African continent.”
