Our mission and capabilities:
Given the current social and economic challenges facing Zimbabwe
and Africa at large, it is more vital than ever that we promote the
intellectual case for informed economic policy based on optimal taxes,
promotion of education, enhancing the health and welfare system and lower
levels of direct government regulation. It is imperative that appropriate policies
be implemented leading to the reduction of poverty, the alleviation of the suffering
and the achievement of sustainable livelihoods in these countries. Economic
analysis plays a key role both in the commercial world and in public policy.
Our mission is to
carry out research and analysis that resonates with the ordinary citizen and
give advice on economic and social forces that affect people’s lives, to
improve the understanding of those forces and the ways in which right policies
could bring about change. We are here to inspire and challenge people to critically
think about the correct roles of political office, institutions, property
rights and the rule of law in creating a society that fosters innovation,
entrepreneurship and the efficient use of resources. In particular for
Zimbabwe, our objective is to enhance the quality of economic policy-making by
fostering high quality, policy-relevant economic analysis, and disseminating it
widely to decision-makers in the public and private sectors so as to promote
the next generation of thinking and prosperity for a rising economy.
Our team comprises of experts in macroeconomic analysis
and modelling, regulatory and competition issues, cost/benefit and financial
analysis, health economics, business case development, public policy and
general economic policy management. We have a genuine commitment and passion to
providing rigorous expert research, commentary, analysis and advice on a
growing and diverse range of economic problems. In our analysis, we blend theoretically-oriented
economic research with the empirical work in the most understandable ways
possible, hoping to inspire and empower the ordinary citizen. We hope
to investigate and explore about the Zimbabwean/African story with an African
perspective combined with first world experiences.
We are only
people-driven.
