| CARRD is an independent think tank focussing on governance and development of the African region. Our mission is to generate research, debates and policies that can lead to improvements in the capacity of institutions and governance of the region and the quality of life of the African people. To make our vision of the African society a reality, we aim to combine the use of value-based ideas with evidence-based, research methods to produce workable policy solutions to the myriad of governance and development challenges confronting Africa. |

We use an inclusive style of research that draws on the expertise and insights of academics, practitioners and members of the public. We provide a platform for different stakeholders to come together to address shared concerns as well as seek out new ways of addressing shared concerns.
Our research areas cut across traditional boundaries, addressing problems from a different perspective in order to generate innovative policy ideas in a way that promotes participatory governance and sustainable development that improve the quality of life of Africans.

| CARRD works to combat the myth that we have no choice about the policies that affect our lives, by exploring new approaches to the relationship between governments, the people and society. We work for a change in the way public policies are generated in Africa and for Africa. We want a move from top-down, short-term ad-hoc ‘reforms’ to long-term, systemic renewal based on consistent principles, widespread citizen participation and a realistic understanding of culturally appropriate and context informed sustainable approaches to governance and development in Africa. |
