Transforming Evidence into Policy. Advancing Sustainable Development.
The Institute of Public Policy Initiatives (IPPI) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit public policy research and development institute advancing evidence-based policymaking, accountable governance, institutional excellence, and sustainable development across Africa and beyond.
Who Are We
Building Better Policies. Strengthening Institutions. Creating Lasting Impact.
Established in 2017, the Institute of Public Policy Initiatives (IPPI) was founded in response to the growing need for credible research institutions capable of bridging the gap between scientific evidence, public policy formulation, implementation, and citizen engagement.IPPI is evolving as a multidisciplinary policy think tank that works across critical development sectors. We generate high-quality research, develop innovative policy solutions, strengthen institutions, build capacity, support policy implementation, and promote evidence-based advocacy.We work collaboratively with governments, development partners, private sector institutions, civil society organizations, academia, regional organizations, communities, and international agencies to design practical solutions that improve governance, strengthen institutions, enhance public service delivery, promote transparency and accountability, and accelerate inclusive and sustainable development.

How We Create Impact
At IPPI, we believe sustainable development requires more than generating knowledge. It requires transforming evidence into action, strengthening institutions, fostering inclusive partnerships, and ensuring that public policies deliver measurable improvements in people's lives.
Our integrated impact cycle is:
We identify emerging policy challenges, generate evidence, analyze policy and institutional options, strengthen institutions and human capacity, engage stakeholders, influence policy and institutional reforms, and measure results through Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning.This approach enables IPPI to transform research into practical solutions, strengthen institutions, influence public policy, and contribute to accountable governance, inclusive economic growth, environmental sustainability, and resilient communities.
