Strategic Research
IIPSA is working to build evidence base and articulate the link between our strategic activity areas and SDGs in context of the countries we operate in.
Our Research Approach
IIPSA’s research Center maintains the highest standards in carrying out rigorous and impartial research, while also following best practices in data confidentiality. To balance IIPSA’s need to keep data confidential with the needs of scholars, the media, and other interested organizations to obtain data SDG, we assess each research request and its goals and intended use carefully. We especially welcome research requests where the findings will be:
- Used to promote scholarly research and expand the knowledge base of sustainable development goals in Africa
- Used by Donors, African governments and overseas development agencies for facilitating sustainable investment in Africa
- Used by the private sector to facilitate student recruitment for employment in the students’ home countries or home regions
