AKADEMIYA2063 is a pan-African non-profit research organization with headquarters in Kigali, Rwanda, and a regional office in Dakar, Senegal. Inspired by the ambitions of the African Union's Agenda 2063 and grounded in the recognition of the central importance of strong knowledge and evidence-based systems, the vision of AKADEMIYA2063 is an Africa with the expertise we need for the Africa we want. This expertise must be responsive to the continent’s needs for data and analysis to ensure high-quality policy design and execution. Inclusive, evidence-informed policymaking is key to meeting the continent’s development aspirations, creating wealth, and improving livelihoods.

AKADEMIYA2063’s overall mission is to create, across Africa and led from Rwanda, state-of-the-art technical capacities to support the efforts of the Member States of the African Union to achieve the key goals of Agenda 2063: transforming national economies to boost growth and prosperity.

Following from its vision and mission, the main goal of AKADEMIYA2063 is to help meet the needs of African countries in terms of data, analytics, and mutual learning for the effective implementation of Agenda 2063 and the realization of its outcomes by a critical mass of member states. AKADEMIYA2063 strives to meet its goals through programs organized under five strategic areas—policy intelligence, knowledge systems, data intelligence and governance—as well as innovative partnerships and communication and outreach activities. 

AKADEMIYA2063 leads 7 flagship programs. They are: (1) the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS), (2) the African Growth and Development Policy (AGRODEP) Modeling Consortium, (3) the Malabo Montpellier Panel (MaMo Panel), (4) Africa Agriculture Watch (AAgWa), (5) African Mitigation and Adaptation Review (AfMAR), (6) Africa Trade Outlook Portal (AfTOP), and (7) Food System Crisis Observatory and Response (FSCOR) mechanism.
