Direct engagement in the legislative and regulatory processes where continental commitments become — or fail to become — national law and funded budget lines.
African governments have signed landmark commitments — the Maputo Protocol, the Abuja Declaration, the Addis Ababa Immunisation Agenda. The gap is domestication: converting those signatures into national legislation, regulation, and budget allocations.
We work inside specific legislative moments — committee hearings, budget review windows, AU Assembly sessions — with decision-ready briefs rather than general awareness campaigns.
Each mode targets a different point in the policy cycle — from drafting to appropriation to accountability.
Supporting parliaments and ministries to translate signed commitments into enforceable national law and funded programme allocations.
Producing and placing decision-ready briefs at the specific committee windows where technical evidence shapes final legislative and budget text.
Building coalitions of civil society organisations, parliamentarians, and technical specialists around shared legislative priorities at the AU and regional level.
Cross-country learning exchanges on domestication strategies that have secured budget outcomes
The tools and institutions differ by pillar — the logic of working inside legislative moments is constant.

Health Equity
Converting the 15% health budget pledge into enforceable appropriation schedules through parliamentary budget committee engagement.
