We work with African governments to support their efforts in taking practical evidence-informed actions to end hunger, poverty and inequality.
Enabling Environment
We support evidence-informed improvements to policy, regulatory frameworks, performance management, and the working environment to improve formulation and implementation of practical evidence-informed actions for development.
Human Capital
We provide insights on the extent and the manner in which human capital development can improve practical evidence-informed actions for development. We believe in strengthening the civil service for decisions that deliver on the country's development agenda through peer learning, accountability and citizen engagement.
Sustainable Financing
We provide actionable analysis that governments can use to better align investments from domestic resources that ensure the country is able to formulate, implement and review practical evidence-informed actions for development on an on-going basis with minimal reliance on overseas development assistance.
