Our Work

Programme Approach


Three cross-cutting approaches that run through every pillar — from the rooms where policy is made to the communities that hold governments to account.

How we work

Three approaches. Applied across all three pillars.

Each approach operates in every pillar — the tools shift, the institutions differ, but the logic is the same.

Policy Advocacy

Direct engagement in the legislative and regulatory processes where continental commitments become — or fail to become — national law.

  • Treaty domestication into enforceable national legislation and budget allocations
  • Decision-ready briefs and legal submissions placed at specific committee windows
  • Coalition convening around African Union and regional economic community legislative tracks

Health Financing

Shifting health systems from donor dependence toward domestic budgets and African-owned financing frameworks that hold past the donor cycle.

  • Multi-country financing compacts with measurable domestic budget targets
  • Health Financing Exemplars Database mapping what works by country and instrument
  • Abuja Declaration and Addis Ababa Immunisation Agenda domestication into budget commitments

Active Citizenry

Building the data tools and community capacity that make accountability possible — so continental commitments are visible, trackable, and demandable at the subnational level.

  • Renaissance Vault of Continental Maps — twenty indicator layers across all 55 African Union member states
  • GEYSI Toolkit domestication tracking layer for civil society and parliamentary actors
  • National civil society network support between major continental decision moments
