African Institute for Development Policy Research and Dialogue

An Africa where evidence is used consistently to transform lives | L'Afrique où les preuves sont systématiquement utilisées pour transformer les vies African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) is a pan-African non-profit research and policy that promotes and supports governments to use credible evidence in policy and programme decision-making to accelerate the achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, and national development goals in African countries. AFIDEP believes that the sustained use of evidence in decision-making at different levels of governance - community to national and regional levels - will result in better investments, more effective service provision, increased access to and use of services, and ultimately better development outcomes. AFIDEP has six priority areas - population dynamics, health, environment and climate change, governance, gender equality and education.
