About our work

Africa’s dynamic role in the global landscape is shaped by its vast potential and strategic importance. The Africa Center’s work focuses on advancing opportunities across the Atlantic Basin, addressing challenges in the Sahel, and redefining Africa’s place in global affairs. The center aims to unlock economic prosperity by analyzing the global financial system’s impact on Africa and fostering transformative partnerships, including unleashing the full scope of US economic engagement with the continent.

Through research and dialogue, conducted in partnership with the Policy Center for the New South, the Africa Center strives to support sustainable growth, achieve regional stability, and solidify Africa’s place as a critical voice in international institutions.
