Our Priorities

01

Climate Change

How global decarbonization policies and innovations to mitigate climate change will affect Africa's own priorities.

02

Technology

How African countries are negotiating tech innovations and the regulation of digital platforms — balancing disinformation with civic rights.

03

Investment

Investment flows are shifting as African countries rethink foreign aid, strengthen regional trade, and support home-grown enterprises.

Regional Programs

Regional Security Policy Program

Works with military and civilian partners across Africa. A key pillar is training officers and officer candidates on democracy and the rule of law, based on the principle of 'citizens in uniform', and creating forums for regional and international actors to build trust and work out joint solutions.

Regional Food Program — 'Everybody Wants to Eat'

Aims to end hunger, malnutrition and poverty, and the lack of clean water in remote areas of Niger, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Chad and Sudan — including crisis prevention through stable administrative structures for food security.
