Research & Development (R&D)
CEESEP is a think tank dedicated to the production of scientific knowledge and the exchange of ideas. The center works daily to establish a network of experienced researchers across Africa and around the world to push the boundaries of ignorance and propose concrete solutions to the development challenges faced by the African continent. It is primarily concerned with establishing causal relationships using sophisticated experimental and quasi-experimental methods to translate research results into action.
Its research areas cover education, health, technological innovations, agriculture, institutions and governance, taxation, youth employment, energy and clean water, environment, empowerment of rural women, land, and rural development. Guided continuously by the pursuit of innovative solutions, CEESEP mobilizes local and international expertise and collaborates with other research centers from the South and the North to generate scientific evidence at the forefront of research that effectively supports the approaches of policymakers. CEESEP is available to collaborate with the research departments of private companies and public administrations and remains open to proposals for new research ideas from young researchers that could lead to healthy scientific collaboration.
