The mission and purpose of SALT are encapsulated by the five major areas below. In its bid to serve an emergent African democratic society, by anchoring the full spectrum of social life and practices in contemporary Africa to a robust framework of wholesome critical thought, and the pursuit of truth in life, SALT shall strive to accomplish the following tasks as it serves the African academia, ecclesia and the new African community-in-society:
1. Engaging with African issues past, present and future in a multi-disciplinary context;
2. Giving focus, depth and direction to contemporary African discourses;
3. Exploring new mission frontiers in the expanding knowledge economy, which would promote integrated human flourishing on the continent;
4. Serving as a catalyst for contemporary African (Christian) communities’ critical engagement with the world;
