The Africa Think Tank APRI researches key policy issues affecting African countries and the African continent.

Our current programs are Economy & Society, Africa's Climate Agenda and Africa's Digital Agenda. We aim to provide insights to the German and European Union policy making process on Africa - as well as policy options to African policymakers and civil society actors.

In 2025, APRI's Geopolitics and Geoeconomics programme, led by Dr. Amandine Gnanguênon, examined how African countries are navigating diversification, more transactional partnerships, and growing competition for influence.

The programme focused on the geopolitics of critical minerals and energy transition and produced 14 papers in the ECOWAS Policy Analysis Series. In total, there were 26 publications, and 10 events and dialogues.

In 2025, APRI's Economy and Society programme entered a new phase under Senior Fellow Joshua Kwesi Aikins, with a sharper focus on data-driven insight and targeted policy engagement.

We focused on stronger monitoring, evaluation and data visualisations; as well as a launch of our Policy Exchange and Advice (PXA) closed-door sessions connecting policymakers, practitioners and researchers with the goal of rethinking German development cooperation toward more mutually beneficial, African-led outcomes.

Climate action needs proper coordination, so in 2025, APRI's Climate Transitions Programme, led by Chibuikem Agbaegbu, examined how fragmented institutions, weak coordination, and challenges in mobilising and deploying climate finance continue to slow implementation.

We supported 8 Nigerian federal ministries to mainstream climate priorities into their sectoral policies and advanced discussions on a nationally owned country platform for coordinated climate action, building on our 2024 Global South peer-learning workshop

In 2025, APRI launched the Just Green Technology Transitions Programme, led by Senior Fellow Dr. Serwah Prempeh, to examine the technology side of that transition.

We found that importing equipment alone builds little industrial capability without local skills and supplier development in South Africa; and that regional integration under AfCFTA can help green industries scale, but only where infrastructure and workforce readiness keep pace

Across 11 publications, the programme explored how Africa can move from resource extraction to local value creation in energy, agriculture and transport.

Global cooperation is being renegotiated in real time, and Africa's voice belongs at the center.

At the second edition of APRI's 2025 Africa in the World Series, co-hosted with FES Africa Department, 100+ decision-makers, researchers, and practitioners explored how Africa is redefining its global partnerships.

Post-EU-AU Summit, the focus was on resetting Africa–Europe relations, including Germany's evolving role, and advancing industrialisation, local value addition, and economic sovereignty.

In a year of major global shifts, we sharpened our focus on direct policy engagement, positioning Africa as an essential partner in energy, critical minerals, and green industrialisation. We also launched our Just Green Technology Transitions Programme, started a new project on governing Africa's mineral wealth, and opened a fully operational office in Abuja.

Thank you to our funders, partners, and community for your trust. Special thanks to Salomé Bronkhorst for her work on the report.

Africa has the minerals the world needs but that is not the same as having power.

Our Senior Fellow, Francois Sennesael reveals in his short analysis that true leverage lives in the regulatory rules, carbon standards and supply-chain requirements that decide who gets market access.

African countries need to stop banking on raw potential and start reading foreign industrial policy early, while it's still being written.

Full analysis linked in bio.

This short analysis is funded by the Stiftung Mercator Foundation as part of the Geopolitics and Geoeconomics of Africa-Europe Relations Project.

Africa's climate ambition is high, but green jobs for young Africans are still out of reach for many.

Join APRI and EADI on Oct 1 at 17:00 CEST as we unpack the gap in climate finance, jobs, policy coherence, and other bottlenecks holding it all back.
