Development
Research and materials addressing key issues on development from an African perspective.
Development has improved year-on-year over the last decade, with more than 90% of Africa’s population living in a country where public services such as health and education are better. Social protections are more extensive, decent housing is on the rise, and governments have made strides in environmental sustainability. However, the fallout from COVID-19 has impacted these trends and education systems, for example, are performing less well.
The Foundation has produced a range of research and materials addressing key issues on development from an African perspective. You can find our resources on this page.
