AGORA in Motion

AGORA (Africa Growth and Opportunity: Research in Action) is the flagship platform of the Institute for Economic Development for advancing development in Africa. Named after the ancient Greek public forum, AGORA is designed as an open arena where African and European institutions set the agenda together, ensuring balanced ownership and accountability.

With year-round engagement to track progress, respond to emerging challenges, and deepen partnerships, and by combining the convening power of the World Bank Group and African institutions with Italy’s Mattei Plan, AGORA turns policy into tangible results for Africa’s future.
