AER’s approach channels distributed expertise into disciplined research that investors can use.
Africa holds deep technical capacity, yet it is fragmented across institutions and borders. AER organizes this capacity around clear research questions, shared methods, and peer review. We scope tightly, publish transparently, and return to the work with updates as data improves. The result is analysis that can travel from a data room to a board decision without translation. Volunteers gain authorship and practical impact. Industry gains a dependable engine for insight.
