About us

We are an African-led, non-profit research and policy institute established in 2010 to help bridge the gaps between research, policy and practice in development efforts in Africa. We are registered as a non-profit institution in the USA (with 501(c)3 status) and as a Non-Governmental Organisation in both Kenya and Malawi, with a mandate to work across Africa. We seek to contribute to the realisation of the SDGs and other development strategies by enabling the formulation of effective development policies and programme interventions.
