Our mission in AFEEDi is to promote entrepreneurship and the fundamental institutions of a free society through research, education, empowerment and Advocacy in solving economic problems.
We believe in the dedication of our team, the ideas of our partners, and the
commitment from our donors to have a tremendous impact on the
worldwide freedom movement.
Evidence-based, highly informed policies and decisions are lacking within the continent. The AFEEDI’s multi-faceted approach offers various keys to understanding what are the forgotten truths in need of great rediscovery and measure the progress made on implementing them and working with society to find innovative solutions to the identified challenges.
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
Our vision is of a free, peaceful and prosperous Africa where individuals can live a dignified life with respect for the rule of law and economic freedom.
OUR STRATEGY
AFEEDI team has a robust activities and pet projects that indeed will aid as well as tackle these daunting challenges as outlined in the problem statement. These activities are segmented into the following broad groupings: Education, Research, Empowerment and Advocacy.
With over 200 million people in Africa living in extreme poverty and disturbing insecurity. The incidence of poverty increases faster than the population. Africans who live on less than about two dollar a day has doubled in the last 20 years. This is embarrassing on human flourishing. The questions are: what has worked? What has failed? What is new and effective? What are the forgotten truths in need of great rediscovery?
One dominant theme that emerged from our consultations leading to the vision of the organisation is that many of the weaknesses in the current market for public policy, policy research and economic development are the result of the lack of proper knowledge on the policy that works, and how citizen can champion a change and support for a better economy.
The differences in standard of living across countries are explained by the discrepancies in economy’s productive potential and in the factors that determines productive potential. The benefit of entrepreneurship and a free society is stifled in societies that do not prioritize justice, respect for economic, civil and human right, freedom of research, freedom of speech and equal participation in market.
Our theory of change is based on the conviction that providing entrepreneurs and leaders with the long-term empowerment support that they need to improve research quality, free trade and economic performance will in turn enable them to play a more effective role in policy debates, training, and providing policymakers, NGOs and the media with the evidence needed to develop sound social and economic policies.
Hence, we are dedicated towards the promotion of quality educational access, entrepreneurship, development, and the fundamental institutions of a free society through research, education, empowerment and advocacy in solving economic problems.
