Evidence and partnerships for Africa's future
The Policy Studies Institute (PSI) is the main organizer of the international conference, Transforming Africa's Future: Evidence-Based Policies for Inclusive, Resilient, and Sustainable Development. The conference runs from July 1 to July 3, 2027; the detailed timetable will be announced when confirmed.
The action plan sets out a forum for research leaders and experts from prominent domestic and international knowledge institutions. Research paper presentations, panel discussions and an exhibition will support knowledge exchange, strengthen international partnerships and share the Institute's research with policymakers and other stakeholders. The programme spans nine focus areas, from agricultural transformation and human capital to governance, digital innovation and sustainable economic growth.
PSI is Ethiopia's national policy research institute. It produces research and policy advice, supports institutional capacity and provides a platform for evidence-informed public dialogue. Its institutional work connects evidence with development decisions.
Alongside research exchange, the conference aims to increase recognition of PSI's contribution to public benefit and showcase Ethiopia's cultural heritage and hospitality. Attendee registration is free and remains separate from paper submission.
