about api header

The Africa Policy Institute (API) is an independent, not-for-profit pan-African think tank designed as a centre of excellence on policy relevant research on peace, governance and strategic issues in Africa. Its work is clustered around three thematic programmes: Regional Integration and Peace-building (RIP); Resource Governance and Conflict (RGC);  and Transnational Crime and Counter-Terrorism (TCC). Its operations are coordinated from its  offices in Nairobi Kenya (headquarters), Pretoria South Africa (regional Office) and  Kampala, Uganda (Liaison office). The bedrock of the Institute`s success are its teams of researchers, fellows, associates and resource persons across Africa and internationally.
