Our Projects

At Arguments for Africa, we see this platform not as an endpoint, but as a launchpad. Our essays, critiques, and data analyses are just the beginning. We believe in ideas that scale, frameworks that evolve, and discourse that leads to real-world impact.

Here’s a glimpse of the initiatives we’re actively developing—or hope to launch in the near future:

Pan-African Think Tank Initiative

A long-term goal to transform Arguments for Africa into a multidisciplinary think tank that:

Produces original research and policy briefs
Hosts thematic working groups across African countries
Engages governments, civil society, and academia
Trains the next generation of African policy thinkers

The African Data Observatory

A dedicated hub that curates, visualizes, and analyzes publicly available African data to:

Support journalists, researchers, and advocates with usable datasets

Counter misinformation with evidence

Translate raw statistics into accessible insights

Voices of Africa Series

A multimedia project to platform diverse African perspectives:

First-person “argument essays” from across the continent

Interviews with thinkers, farmers, artists, technologists, and elders

Short video essays and podcasts in local languages
