KANU Research Publications

KANU’s research publications deliver independent, Africa-centered and evidence-based analysis to support policymakers, leaders, and institutions in navigating complex global and continental challenges.

Our work combines rigorous scholarship with strategic foresight, offering trusted insights that decision-makers across Africa can confidently rely upon. Each publication is the result of:

• Evidence-based research rooted in Africa’s realities and global interconnections.
• Engagement with leading experts and practitioners through debate, consultation, and dialogue.
• Peer review and quality control to guarantee intellectual independence, accuracy, and impact.

KANU publishes a wide range of formats — reports, policy briefs, research papers, advocacy briefs, special notes … — tailored to inform action and guide decision-making at both national and continental levels.

We welcome diverse perspectives and innovative policy recommendations. The opinions expressed in KANU publications are those of the authors, reflecting a plurality of African and global voices, and enriching the intellectual debate on Africa’s future.

Through this publishing effort, KANU remains faithful to its mission: shaping Africa’s future through independent, Africa-centric knowledge and critical thought leadership.
