Partners & Donors

Institutional partnerships that shape the continent.


We partner with continental institutions, sovereign and bilateral donors, foundations, and technical institutes. Every engagement is grounded in coalition leadership, transparent governance, and decision-ready evidence.

How to engage

Three pathways to partner with us

Each pathway is sized for a different decision unit — from rapid programmatic co-design to multi-year strategic accompaniment.

Pathway 01

Catalytic project funding

Co-design and fund a specific intervention under one of our three pillars — GEYSI Toolkit country pilots, EAC Health Financing Compact expansion, or a Renaissance Vault publication cycle.

Pathway 02

Programmatic partnership

Anchor a 24–36 month programmatic partnership across a thematic portfolio — including convening, evidence production, and country-level domestication.

Pathway 03

Strategic institutional support

Anchor ART as a long-horizon continental policy actor — multi-year unrestricted support that enables our role across the AU, RECs, and national tracks.

Principles

How we partner

Four principles that shape every engagement — from a 90-day catalytic project to a five-year institutional partnership.

01

Coalition leadership

We convene, broker, and steward coalitions. We don't substitute for partner institutions; we sharpen the path between them.

02

Transparent governance

Trust law structure, annual external audit, donor-compliant tax status, and full safeguarding, conflict of interest, and anti-bribery policies.

03

Decision-ready evidence

Every product is sized for the committee, the meeting, and the moment. Deloitte/McKinsey-grade rigour. Note-verbale-fluent protocol.
