Under our three pillars of research, training and policy outreach, our strategic focus throughout the fiscal year has centred around five key objectives:
- Capacity building – to enhance capacity building in economic policy, research and graduate training in sub-Saharan Africa.
- Regional and global linkages – building and strengthening national, regional and global linkages to generate high quality economic policy research and graduate training.
- Private sector engagement – engaging the private sector in mutually beneficial research and training activities to enhance innovation, and to deepen and broaden our capacity building.
- Outreach and policy engagement – to enhance our visibility, outreach and policy engagement to maximise the uptake of our policy products.
- Stakeholdership for sustainability – to maximise mutual benefits through a diversified resource base and stakeholdership for long-term sustainability.
We have made significant progress over the last 12 months. This section of our report provides details of that progress across all of our programmes and policy outreach activities against each objective, and also identifies the positive outcomes as well as the opportunities specific to each.
