About Us
A Ghana-based, continentally networked think tank championing evidence-based, homegrown policy alternatives.
Building Africa's Alternative Policy Voice
Think tanks play an essential, multifaceted role in policy formulation, serving as independent, non-profit institutions dedicated to research, economic analysis, and policy engagement that can help shape national direction.
In Africa, and particularly in Ghana, that role has too often been shaped by a narrow set of voices. AAPI was founded to help close that gap: a high-powered, continentally networked think tank built to champion evidence-based fiscal and monetary policy alternatives, starting in Ghana and extending across Africa.
Unlocking African economic resilience through rigorous analysis tailored to real local dynamics.
Delivering high-caliber policy briefs, economic modeling, and multilateral convening.
