The Africa Research Institute (ARI) is an independent

policy making
through publishing research and hosting interactive events.

ARI's seeks to draw attention to ideas or policies that have worked in Africa by highlighting and analysing best-practices in government, the economy and civil society. ARI encourages debate and challenges conventional wisdom in and about sub-Saharan Africa. It seeks to provide a nuanced and representative understanding of the region, as opposed to conventional "binary" depictions that often dominate the Western media.

The organisation has published work on

urbanisation, political and institutional reform, regional integration
, health and agriculture, amongst other issues. The institute publishes five different series that focus on multiple topics. These series are Policy Voices, Counterpoints, Briefing Notes, Conversations, and Papers.

History

Since then, the institute has published numerous briefing notes, articles, papers and

Eastern Africa.[5]

Funding

Africa Research Institute is a UK-registered charity. It receives funding from the family foundation of Richard Smith, a British industrialist who is also chairman of the board.
