About Us
Our Journey
DevTransform was born from the conviction that development in Africa must be reimagined by Africans, for Africans. Founded in 2024 by seasoned experts in development policy, data governance, and public finance, DevTransform emerged as a bold successor to Development Initiatives’ African legacy. We respond to a critical moment: aid is shrinking, global governance is shifting, and the future hinges on equitable, data-driven solutions.
Who We Are
DevTransform is a Pan-African, non-profit think-and-do tank committed to transforming how development is conceptualized, designed, and delivered In Africa. Working at the nexus of data, digital governance, and financing for development, we bring together strategists, technologists, economists, and policy experts to drive evidence-based solutions, strengthening African agency, and shape inclusive development futures for Africa and beyond.
