Partnerships

Build with Africa's expertise, not around it.

PASIDA works with governments, development partners, funders, universities and companies who need African technical and policy capability — and who want that capability strengthened, not extracted.

Six ways to work together

  • Research partnership

    A shared question, jointly designed methods, co-authored outputs.

  • Programme funding

    Multi-year support for a thematic or regional programme with agreed reporting.

  • Knowledge partnership

    Co-publishing, translation, syndication and shared convening.

  • Delivery partnership

    Consortium bidding and joint implementation on commissioned assignments.

  • Convening partnership

    Co-hosted policy dialogues, roundtables and technical workshops.

  • Data partnership

    Shared datasets, tools and open infrastructure for African practitioners.

  • Funding acceptance and due-diligence policy
  • Donor influence and editorial independence policy
  • Conflict-of-interest register
  • Restricted-funds policy
  • Procurement and Associate payment principles
  • Annual reporting, data protection and safeguarding policies
