IRPIA

The Institute for Research and Policy Integration in Africa (IRPIA) is a pan-African think tank serving as a hub for the fusion of evidence-based research with pressing public policy issues. To see how we bring research and policy together, watch our webinar videos and check out our network of experts, publications and events at https://irpia.org

IRPIA’s mission is premised on the understanding that public policies on issues such as security and peace, environmental sustainability, public health, education, migration, governance, just to name a few, need to be based on evidence-based knowledge which often comes out of cutting edge academic research.

As such, IRPIA focuses on promoting evidence-based research on core pressing policy issues in Africa and disseminating evidence-based research in policy relevant formats. Evidence-based research from the academic world is framed and geared toward providing policy relevant analyses and recommendations for policy makers and practitioners.
