Environment and Social Safeguard Specialist at African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET)

About the Organization

The African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) is a pan-African economic policy institute supporting Africa's long-term growth through transformation. We produce research, offer policy advice, and connect key stakeholders so that African countries are better positioned for smart, inclusive, and sustainable development. Based in Ghana, we offer African-led solutions to some of Africa's most critical development issues.

Project Background

In 2017, the World Bank established the "Think Africa Partnership" (TAP) Program with the objective of building a knowledge to policy action pipeline. The TAP is a multi-donor Trust Fund for the Africa Regions and serves as the Africa Regions' flagship trust fund, translating knowledge into economic policy action to promote economic transformation across the continent.

TAP is an African-centered initiative designed to better equip African scholars, institutions, and chief economic advisors with the tools, knowledge, and networks to address local development challenges with home-grown solutions. TAP furthermore aims at strengthening the production and uptake of knowledge and research to enhance the formulation and implementation of evidence-based policy.

ACET has been a strategic partner of TAP since its inception. TAP and ACET receive numerous requests to support African governments on their economic transformation agenda. In this pursuit, ACET regularly produces key knowledge products, such as the African Transformation Report, the African Transformation Index, as well as numerous multi-country studies exploring national and regional progress towards economic transformation.
