The African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) is an African-led, regional non-profit policy think tank established in 2010 to help bridge the gaps between research, policy and practice in development efforts in Africa. We analyse, synthesise, and translate evidence (i.e. data and research) and use it to generate or strengthen political commitment, inform resource allocation, programme design and implementation. The aim is to contribute to the realisation of sustainable development by enabling the formulation of sound policies and programme interventions.Our work is categorised in four areas. One of these areas is strengthening capacities to use evidence in policymaking spaces. This is a crosscutting area of our work that spans development sectors. We use three development sectors to provide direct support to policymakers in enabling evidence use, and these form the remaining three areas of our work, including: population change and sustainable development; reproductive, maternal, newborn child, and adolescent health; and education and skills development.AFIDEP is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of distinguished experts, who provide strategic guidance and institutional oversight.
