Our team consists of young, dynamic professionals passionate about the continent’s transformation. We challenge conventional thinking and promote innovative policy solutions. 

By combining rigorous research with a deep understanding of Africa’s unique context, we aim to inform policymakers and contribute to a more prosperous and inclusive future for the continent.

Our Mission

Africa’s vast potential for economic transformation remains largely untapped due to persistent challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, low productivity, and limited technological adoption. At State Watch Africa, we are committed to driving a paradigm shift in Africa’s development.
We advocate for a pluralistic approach to economic policymaking, recognizing that a one-size-fits-all solution is insufficient. Our focus is on generating evidence-based insights and fostering informed dialogue around Africa’s political economy. We believe that strategic state intervention is crucial to accelerating growth, and we are dedicated to exploring the most effective modalities and degrees of such intervention.
