ACDESS is a continental policy-oriented research and development studies center. Its activities and programs are interdisciplinary and interrelated, providing wide-ranging challenges and opportunities for collaboration with private and public sectors, NGOs, and civil bodies together with regional and international organizations and professional bodies. ACDESS was established to fill a void in strategic thinking and develop the foundations for proactive political practice in Africa.
