“Why, in a generation that halved global poverty, did Africa's share of the world's extreme poor rise from 14 to 67 per cent?
We established ARI to answer this question and help governments, communities, and institutions build the structural foundations of durable prosperity across Africa"
Eugene N Nforngwa
We sit deliberately at the interface between rigorous research, actionable policy, and on-the-ground practice
Science
ARI produces analytically rigorous, independently conducted research on the structural conditions for resilience and prosperity in Africa.
Policy
ARI translates its research into policy engagement — working directly with governments, regional bodies, and international institutions to bring structural analysis into the rooms where decisions are made.
Practice
ARI works with institutions, communities, and practitioners to apply the frameworks our research develops — through technical assistance, capacity building, and collaborative programme design.
Join Us in Shaping Africa’s Future
The challenges facing Africa are complex, interconnected, and rapidly evolving. Meeting them requires new ideas, stronger institutions, and greater strategic foresight.
Together, we can help build an Africa that is more resilient, more influential, and better prepared for the future.
