Our Research Themes

We undertake impact-driven research on how residents in urban informal settlements can better anticipate, cope with, adapt to, and transform through change and disruptions.

We explore how to transform access to energy via deliberate policy and private-sector interventions. Broadly, our energy research contributes to the ongoing discourse on development & climate change.

We are committed to using the research process to help address the unique challenges faced by agri-food systems in Africa, with a focus on enhancing food security and promoting practices that are resilient, sustainable and economically viable.

Our research focuses on enhancing innovation across all sectors. We develop and deliver tools to improve the management of innovation within organizations and their suppliers and customers.
