INTRAPID Africa

Who We Are?

INTRAPID Africa is an independent, non-profit, impact-driven, non-partisan think tank dedicated to experimental and theoretical research on governance reform, democratic institutions, and human development. It seeks to accelerate policy-oriented conversations among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, civil society, and political actors, with the goal of providing strategic insights and policy solutions to assist these key stakeholders in facilitating change in marginalised landscapes and creating opportunities for inclusive development.

Thematic Programmes

Research & Publications

Researching, publishing, and archiving comprehensive data on the socioeconomic and political interests of the populace is one of the primary goals of Initiative for Transformative Policy and Inclusive Development. We are committed to developing and sustaining excellence in multidisciplinary research and documentation. Its principal objective is to operate as a focal point for promoting and emphasising international standards of fact-finding and documentation. We work to enhance institutional capacity in civil society organisations, governments, and other professional bodies in order to actively engage in research-based solutions to social issues.

Advocacy/Empowerment

Providing a voice to marginalised groups in society—particularly the most vulnerable -is the main goal of this advocacy campaign. It aims to empower orphaned, delinquent and destitute children, refugees, single mothers and widowed people, as well as young people. It also guarantees that persons with disabilities are given the support they need to live normal lives in ordinary places carrying out everyday activities. Overall, the empowerment aims to unite underprivileged individuals into productive communities and coalitions that work together towards a common social agenda, as well as to produce life-changing ideas, prosperous skills, and impactful initiatives.

Election Observation

This initiative seeks to create sustainable local channels through which the grassroots populace, electorates, and practitioners can leverage democracy to improve livelihood and safeguard public offices. This goal is accomplished by providing advisory services and operational support. We strongly believe that election observation should be included in broader initiatives aimed at bolstering democracy, as we work to increase awareness of and adherence to democratic values and obligations. To observe important aspects of the electoral cycle, such as gender equality in electoral participation, media coverage of electoral campaigns, political financing, and the participation of vulnerable groups in elections, election observers are therefore, trained in election observation methodology and international standards for democratic elections.
