African Policy Circle

The African Policy Circle (APC) provides a platform for African civil society, in particular think tanks, to work together and develop new solutions to African problems. We take a transnational approach to governance issues, but also strive to empower our members to inform and influence policy at the country level. We value collaborative learning processes and the production of robust, evidence-based research to support common positions and policy recommendations on critical African development issues such as human rights and good governance, illicit financial flows, natural resource governance and localizing the sustainable development goals (SDGs), among others. Building on these positions, we utilize our collective voice to engage in both current and future development debates. We strongly believe that a well-connected civil society is an empowered civil society and can act as multipliers within our respective networks.
