Who We Are
We are but mere mortals working towards a better Africa.
Operational since 2015, Adili Institute – is a think tank and research and development organisation whose work contributes to advancements in research and analysis with the prime mission of empowering local communities to understand policies and encourage demand for greater accountability from their leaders.
At Adili Institute, we work in partnership with local governments to provide relevant research on public sector management, public administration, policy and governance with the aim of improving accountability and public awareness in the nuances of good governance and how this affects local communities.
Our foundation is rooted in the principles of social justice, compassion, transparency and stringent accountability. We work with people with extensive knowledge, experience and proven record of work with rural communities to maximise the impact of our policy and development interventions.
Our research is rooted in a bottom up approach that places rural communities at the centre. Our work focuses on inclusivity of all perspectives in enquiries surrounding rural communities. We interrogate community challenges by focusing on both the root cause of problems and potential solutions, to create the ‘Africa we want’ as envisioned by the African Union Vision 2063.
