Overview
The African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) provides research, policy advice, and capacity enhancements that African governments can use to transform their economies with the aim of reducing poverty and improving living standards for their citizens. ACET conducts economic analysis and research that provides practical understanding of economic transformation, and engages African policymakers to incorporate drivers of transformation into national strategies and plans. It also supports governments in strengthening the planning and finance institutions necessary to implement these strategies. ACET advances these activities both independently and through its Pan-African Coalition for Transformation that brings together scholars, governments, and the private sector from across Africa.

Grants to this Grantee
for support to strengthen ACET's Gender Equality program
As a pan-African economic policy institute, the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) supports sustainable and resilient growth in Africa. Through its Gender Equality program, ACET embeds a gender lens to unearth gender issues and to develop gender-responsive policy recommendations with the aim that this focus will, over time, condition policymakers to adopt a gender-responsive approach in macroeconomic and microeconomic policy development. Over the next few years, the Gender Equality program aims to grow into a center of excellence at the intersection of gender and economic policymaking in Africa. This flexible program grant will enable ACET to deepen these focal areas, including sustained, meaningful engagement with policy actors and civil society. (Strategy: Women's Economic Empowerment)
