Advancing Africa's economic development through research and policy analysis
The Africa Growth Initiative (AGI) is a research program within the Brookings Institution, established in 2008. It aims to enhance the quality of policy analysis and research on Africa’s economic development. Based in Washington, D.C., AGI works to bridge the gap between academic research and policy implementation, focusing on sustainable growth and development across the African continent. The initiative collaborates with African scholars and institutions to ensure that African voices are central in global development discussions.
AGI conducts in-depth research and analysis on key issues affecting Africa’s economic landscape, such as governance, trade, and infrastructure. Its work reaches policymakers, academics, and the general public, providing evidence-based insights that inform policy decisions. Through its flagship publications and events, AGI has significantly contributed to shaping the discourse on Africa’s development challenges and opportunities, impacting socio-economic policies and fostering growth across the region.
AGI’s work spans the entire African continent, with a focus on regions experiencing rapid economic changes and those facing significant development challenges. By partnering with local institutions, AGI ensures that its research is relevant and impactful across diverse African contexts.
AGI’s flagship initiatives include the annual Foresight Africa report, which outlines critical issues and priorities for the continent. The initiative also hosts events and workshops that facilitate dialogue between African policymakers and global experts, fostering partnerships and collaborative solutions.
AGI has been instrumental in influencing policy through its rigorous research outputs. Its publications are widely cited in policy circles, and its events attract high-level participation, underscoring its role as a thought leader in African economic development. The initiative’s impact is reflected in its ability to shape policy agendas and contribute to informed decision-making processes.
