Promoting informed debate and policy solutions for Africa’s development.
Chatham House, officially known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, was founded in 1920 and is based in London, UK. It is a world-leading policy institute with a mission to help governments and societies build a sustainably secure, prosperous, and just world. The Africa Programme, established in 2002, is a key division of Chatham House, focusing on fostering informed debate and policy solutions for Africa’s political, economic, and social development. The programme engages with African governments, civil society, and international partners to address critical issues facing the continent.
The Africa Programme at Chatham House conducts extensive research and hosts events that bring together policymakers, academics, and practitioners. It covers a wide range of topics, including governance, security, economic development, and climate change. The programme’s impact is evident in its ability to influence policy through rigorous analysis and dialogue, reaching a diverse audience across Africa and globally. Its flagship publications and events are instrumental in shaping discourse and policy on African affairs, contributing significantly to socio-economic development on the continent.
The Africa Programme at Chatham House serves as a key regional hub for policy dialogue and research across the African continent. It engages with countries across West, East, Central, and Southern Africa, facilitating discussions and research collaborations that address regional and national challenges. The programme’s work is particularly influential in countries experiencing political transitions or facing significant governance and security challenges.
Chatham House’s Africa Programme runs several key initiatives, including the Africa Climate Change Fellowship and the African Perspectives series, which provide platforms for African voices in global policy discussions. The programme also offers funding opportunities for research projects and fellowships that align with its thematic focus areas, fostering partnerships with African institutions and stakeholders.
The Africa Programme has achieved significant milestones, including influencing policy reforms in African governance and security sectors. Its research outputs are widely cited in academic and policy circles, and its events attract high-level participation from African leaders and international policymakers. The programme’s impact is further demonstrated by its role in shaping international understanding and responses to Africa’s development challenges.
