Economic Analysis and Policy

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.
