Building and scaling practical, community-driven solutions for peace, economic security, and climate action across Africa.
Our Organisation
Africa CSID recognises that sustainable impact requires addressing challenges together rather than in isolation — social cohesion, resilient livelihoods, and climate adaptation are deeply linked in people's daily lives.
Development actions that protect current and future generations.
To build and scale practical, community-driven solutions that enable marginalised communities across Africa to achieve peace, economic security, and effective climate action — while generating evidence and partnerships that drive lasting systems change.
Our Approach
Enhance evidence-based policy making, accountable governance, and inclusive, pro-marginalised sustainable development through advocacy.
Conduct rigorous research on marginalised communities and facilitate multi-stakeholder engagement on the outcomes of such research.
Develop and strengthen capacity of non-state actors to influence public policy, demand accountability from government, and advance marginalised communities' interests.
Amplify the voice of marginalised communities on effective, sustainable development.
Support innovative and practical people-led development actions among marginalised communities.
Our Core Belief
Marginalised communities face overlapping challenges — conflict, economic exclusion, climate shocks, weak governance, and gendered inequalities. These reinforce each other. Addressing them one at a time does not create lasting change.
Sustainable, inclusive development happens when communities lead the change and when peace, livelihoods, climate resilience and mitigation, governance, and gender equality are addressed together.
