Subject<\/strong>: Country Partnership Opportunity for 6 Independent Think Tanks in Central Africa
\nResearch Project:<\/strong> Strengthening Central Africa Think Tanks to address Inequality, Informality and promote Inclusive Economic Growth
\nIssue\u00a0Date:<\/strong> March 5, 2024 (Apply<\/a>)
\nClosing\u00a0Date:<\/strong> April 25, 2024
\nClosing Time:<\/strong> 5:00 p.m. Local Cameroonian Time
\nEligible countries:<\/strong> Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe and Chad.<\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) is one of the eight Regional Economic Communities (RECs) created by the African Union. Its main goal is to promote and strengthen harmonious cooperation with dynamic, balanced and autonomous development in all areas of economic and social activity with a view to the gradual establishment of a common market. Today, the ECCAS region accounts for 19% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa (estimated at 223 million), and this proportion could increase by almost 3% to reach 21.5% by 2030 and 22.4% by 2063.<\/p>\n

Although population growth has slowed in many Central African countries in recent years, living standards have not improved significantly across the region, and major efforts are needed to reduce the growing inequality, high levels of informality and to promote inclusive growth. For instance, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Burundi, Central African Republic (CAR), and Chad have continuously recorded low human development indices, reflected in low life expectancy, low levels of education, inadequate incomes, and poor quality of life. In other words, the level of human development in these countries remain insufficient to meet the basic needs of their current and future populations, who face enormous difficulties in providing basic services such as access to drinking water, food, and healthcare.<\/p>\n

The problem is acute for the youth. According to the United Nations (2022), 51.1% of young workers in Central Africa live in precarious conditions and extreme poverty. Young workers\u2019 exposure to extreme poverty is compounded by the fact that in most ECCAS countries, a job is not a guarantee of decent living conditions or a pathway out of poverty. Female employees are even more vulnerable to poverty or the risk of poverty than their male counterparts, with inequality continuing to rise. According to the World Bank (2021), the percentage of women in vulnerable employment, i.e., unpaid family workers and the self-employed as a percentage of total employment, was estimated at 80.72%, compared with 65.78% for their male counterparts, primarily due to the predominance of the informal sector in the economy.<\/p>\n

Reducing poverty in Central Africa requires overcoming persistent gender inequalities, especially within the vast informal sector. In order to see transformative progress in the ECCAS region in terms of reducing inequality and informality, while ensuring inclusive economic growth and sustainable development in line with the provisions of the SDGs 1 (no poverty), 5 (gender equality), and 8 (decent work and economic growth), there is an urgent need for collaboration among ECCAS think tanks to jointly produce relevant and high-quality research that will have an impact on policy at national, regional, and continental levels.<\/p>\n

This is what the Nkafu Policy Institute seeks to do, through our \u201c<\/b><\/strong>Strengthening Central Africa Think Tanks <\/b><\/strong>to address Inequality, Informality and promote Inclusive Economic Growth\u201d research project<\/b><\/strong>, thanks to the support of GIZ.<\/p>\n

The call is opened to think tanks in the Central African region, including Angola, Burundi, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo, Rwanda, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Principe, and Chad<\/b><\/strong>.<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0This research shall support collaborative research among 6 Central Africa Think Tank network partners that address the growing informal sector, persistent inequality and advocate policies that promote inclusive growth in the region.<\/p>\n

Objectives of the Research Project<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thegoal\u00a0of this project therefore is to contribute to building collaboration among think tanks in the ECCAS region to jointly produce relevant, high-quality research and provide stakeholders in the Central African region with evidence-informed policy solutions with impact at the national, regional, and continental levels.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the objectives of the project are to:<\/p>\n

– Generate high quality and policy relevant collaborative research, disseminated through knowledge products, tool kits and communication strategies that contribute to the economic transformation, democratic governance, and openness of the Central African region, and
\n– Enhancing information dissemination, policy outreach, advocacy, and engagement with stakeholders in the Central African sub-region and other continental institutions.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>of<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>the<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>Call<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Nkafu Policy Institute, the project implementer, is working in partnership with selected think tanks from the ECCAS region to achieve the research\u2019s expected results. Each selected country will conduct policy research in each country, participate\u00a0in multiple events organized within the framework of the project (working sessions, panel discussions, training workshops, seminars, and annual forums). The research directly support partner think tanks to strengthen their capacity and advocacy reach. The research also allows the improvement of collaboration between think tanks, policymakers (national and international), and civil society actors in the ECCAS region toward the goal of Tackling<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0informality<\/b><\/strong>, reducing <\/b><\/strong>inequality <\/b><\/strong>and promoting inclusive growth<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This research targets think tanks in Central Africa to ensure thematic research writing through reports\u00a0and\u00a0op-eds,\u00a0\u00a0participation in key major events and capacity building workshops.\u00a0Project\u00a0activities\u00a0include:<\/p>\n
