The Africa Network of Agricultural Policy Research Institutes (ANAPRI) is pleased to announce that the Policy Studies Institute (PSI) of Ethiopia has officially joined the network. The inclusion of PSI is an important milestone in the continued expansion of ANAPRI and strengthens collaboration among African policy research institutions committed to advancing evidence-informed agricultural policymaking.
The Policy Studies Institute is a prominent public policy research institution in Ethiopia that provides rigorous policy analysis to support national development planning. Through interdisciplinary research and policy engagement, the institute contributes to shaping policies in key areas such as economic development, agriculture, food security, and sustainable development. Its work supports policymakers by generating evidence and facilitating dialogue on policy options that can improve national development outcomes.
By joining ANAPRI, PSI brings valuable expertise and analytical capacity to the network. Ethiopia plays a central role in agricultural development and food systems discussions in Africa, and PSI’s research and policy engagement activities provide insights that are relevant not only at the national level but also for broader continental policy conversations. The institute’s experience in policy research and stakeholder engagement will contribute to strengthening the network’s collective ability to generate and translate evidence that informs agricultural policy decisions across Africa.
ANAPRI is a collaborative platform that brings together national agricultural policy research institutes across the continent. The network promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing, and collective action among member institutions with the goal of generating high quality evidence to guide policy decisions that support agricultural development and food security in Africa. Established in 2012, ANAPRI was created to enable national agricultural policy research institutes to coordinate their efforts, share data and knowledge, and collaborate on research that addresses common agricultural and food system challenges across the continent. Through joint research initiatives, policy dialogue, and capacity development, the network supports policymakers with credible and timely evidence to inform decision making at national, regional, and continental levels.
The addition of the PSI reflects the growing relevance and reach of ANAPRI as a platform for African policy research collaboration. By bringing together institutions with diverse expertise and national perspectives, ANAPRI continues to strengthen a growing community of research centres, enhancing collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the generation of evidence that supports resilient and sustainable food systems across Africa.
