Africa x CARICOM is a forward-looking independent think tank dedicated to advancing informed policy, research and collaboration across Africa and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). We explore the political, economic, social and cultural drivers shaping the future of both regions, bridging knowledge gaps and elevating perspectives often under-represented in global policy debates.
We envision a more equitable and connected partnership between Africa and CARICOM — one where research, evidence, and strategic policy engagement help unlock shared prosperity, sustainable development, and stronger regional cooperation.
Africa x CARICOM generates rigorous, high-impact research and convenes policymakers, scholars, and practitioners to:
Inform and shape policy: Produce evidence-based insights on topics that matter most to Africa and CARICOM, including governance, trade, climate resilience, technology, and social development.
Connect communities: Build meaningful networks between African and Caribbean thought leaders, civil society and decision-makers.
Champion inclusive dialogue: Promote diverse voices and nuanced perspectives in regional and international policy arenas.
Drive practical impact: Translate research into actionable recommendations that support inclusive growth and sustainable futures.
Research & Analysis: Publish original reports, policy briefs, and thought pieces that deepen understanding of complex regional trends.
Engagement & Forums: Host dialogues, roundtables and workshops that bring together stakeholders from government, academia, the private sector, and civil society.
Partnerships: Collaborate with universities, research institutions and community organizations to foster cross-regional exchange and long-term capacity building.
We combine rigorous research methodology with real-world relevance, ensuring our work is both academically sound and practically useful for decision makers. Our interdisciplinary team draws on expertise across politics, economics, culture and technology to illuminate connections, challenge assumptions and propose innovative solutions.
