A decentralised approach to continental analysis

We came together with a shared conviction: that African economic data deserves interpretation by those who understand its context. Our distributed structure reflects the diversity of perspectives we bring to our work.

Our indices move beyond narrative—neither the oversimplified optimism nor the inherited skepticism that has historically framed external analysis of the continent.
