The purpose of PRME Chapter Africa is:
- to engage and grow the PRME network in Africa;
- to advocate and develop thought leadership in responsible management education and research in Africa;
- to promote and facilitate knowledge sharing on PRME in Africa; and

The key objectives of a PRME Chapter Africa are to:

- increase the visibility of PRME and its signatories in Africa, by advocating for responsible management education, research, and developing thought leadership;
- actively promote the growth of the Africa Chapter by engaging with non-communicating signatories, as well as business schools and higher education institutions that are not yet PRME signatories;
- engage all PRME signatories in Africa and provide a platform for dialogue, learning, and action on responsible management education;
- engage with other PRME Chapters, PRME Working Groups, PRME Global Students, and other PRME platforms and projects;
- share examples of best practice on how to integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the curriculum, research, partnerships, dialogue, external engagement activities, and the internal practices of the school or institution; and
- develop knowledge sharing and thought leadership amongst PRME signatories in close connection with the respective UN GC Local Networks and their members.
The main activities of the Chapter Steering Committee of PRME Chapter Africa include:
