About us Know us better

Advance Knowledge Centre for Development specialises in socioeconomic development, social inclusion, governance and public policy, and sustainable development.

Our Story

Our story began in 2020 after the realisation that knowledge is a key that opens many doors. Knowledge can deepen the understanding of ourselves & the communities we live in. It allows us to capitalise on opportunities that exist to improve wellbeing & livelihoods, to influence public policy & advance sustainable development. Through our work we hope to transform the lives of many & collaborate with Africans, development agencies, change agents, activists, policy makers & analysts.
