Our research focuses on the intersection of financing for development, climate finance, and crisis response—areas where policy decisions have immediate and long-term impacts on African countries. We analyze donor trends, track financing commitments versus disbursements, evaluate aid effectiveness, and identify reform opportunities in global financial architecture.

We produce multiple formats tailored to different audiences: concise policy briefs for busy decision-makers, comprehensive reports for deep dives, working papers for academic peer review, and position papers for negotiation strategy. All research is grounded in African contexts and priorities rather than external frameworks imposed on the continent.

Supporting African Negotiators

African countries face significant capacity constraints when participating in complex multilateral negotiations. Our research team provides technical backstopping—preparing briefing documents, analyzing draft texts, modeling financial scenarios, and identifying coalition-building opportunities.
