About PASIDA
Africa's expertise, organised.
Pan African Sustainability, Innovation and Development Associates exists because the continent does not lack expertise — it lacks the connective tissue that turns scattered expertise into visible, commissionable capacity.

Mission
Connect, empower, mobilise.
To connect, empower and mobilise African professionals to deliver evidence-based solutions in energy, water and climate — and to make that expertise easy for institutions to find and commission.
Vision
Designed, led and delivered by Africans.
An Africa whose sustainable development is designed, led and delivered by Africans, informed by rigorous evidence and shared openly across the continent.
Origin
From a PAUWES cohort to a continental association.
PASIDA began among specialists connected to the Pan African University Institute of Water and Energy Sciences and is now open to African professionals across the continent and its diaspora — policy and technical, emerging and senior.
An open publishing platform where African practitioners write for peers and decision-makers.

Sustaining the work
Each revenue stream is reported separately so independence stays visible.
