This annual review highlights SAIIA’s various policy engagements this year. It shows both the demand for our work, the ability of the Institute to build strong partnerships at multiple levels across the region and globally, and to achieve impact that supports African development outcomes.
We at SAIIA are proud of the positive achievements we’ve recorded despite a toughening funding environment and the uncertainty and disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With lockdown restrictions easing, we look forward to a strong return to field work and deeper engagement with our partners and stakeholders.
Our goal – to advance a well-governed, peaceful, economically sustainable and globally engaged Africa remains more important than ever.
SAIIA’s research agenda seeks to respond to the growing demand for innovative policy solutions in Africa, while drawing on ‘best fit’ practices globally. Our research outputs are the result of in-depth field work and comparative case studies and involve the perspectives of government and non-government stakeholders, including the private sector, academia and civil society thereby ensuring that any
policy advice offered is evidence-based, robust, forward-looking and relevant.
