Our Approach

AEDS work with governments, private sector, non-governmental organizations, the civil society and communities in various areas
of economic development. Using a co-creative approach, we work hands on in areas of policy research, advocacy capacity building
and development planning.
With a firm belief that the policy environment creates a framework to spur Africa’s growth and prosperity, AEDS works to fill the
fundamental void in economic policy research, policy analysis and capacity building for effective in-country contributions to Africa’s
policy and development processes.
