The South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) is an independent public policy think tank advancing a well governed, peaceful, economically sustainable and globally engaged Africa. This event showcased SAIIA and Centre for the Study of the Economies of Africa (CSEA)’s innovative work funded by the IDRC on strengthening the macro-economic resilience of Africa in the post-COVID-19 context. The project was co-implemented by four partner think tanks across the region – the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF); Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE); African School of Economics (ASE) and Initiative Prospective Agricole et Rurale (IPAR).
The event included presentations of the team’s research on the main drivers of resilience and vulnerability in Africa, new indices developed to inform policy responses that are socio-economically inclusive and climate friendly, as well as the lessons learnt from 12 country case studies on the impact and responses of Africa to key shocks from 2000-2022.
