Mission of the AfSDB Institute :
The AfSDBI provides intellectual input for policy makers within African developing member countries. It does so by conducting research with a focus on medium- to long-term development issues of strategic importance that affects the region and through capacity building and training activities that contribute to AfSDBs overarching objective of poverty reduction.
The objectives of AfSDBI are to identify effective development strategies and improve the capacity for sound development of the agencies and organizations engaged in development work within Africa. The AfSDBI focuses its activities on areas where it has a strategic advantage, such as the analysis of emerging policy issues from regional as well as medium- to long-term perspectives, and the facilitation of policy dialogue among senior policy makers. The AfSDBI also seeks to enhance its visibility, impact, and accessibility through high-quality knowledge products and services. It strives to be a trusted source of insight, knowledge, and information to which policy makers, academics, and others interested in Africa's development issues turn for guidance.
