{African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET),Accra,Full-Time,GH,N/A,N/A,06 May-2022};

The African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) is a pan-African economic policy institute supporting Africa’s long-term growth through transformation.

Project Background

The TAP is a multi-donor Trust Fund for the Africa Regions and is the Africa Regions’ flagship trust fund translating knowledge into economic policy action to promote economic transformation across the continent. TAP is an African-centered initiative to better equip African scholars, institutions, and chief economic advisors with the tools, knowledge, and networks to address local development challenges with home grown solutions. TAP furthermore aims to strengthening production and uptake of knowledge and research to enhance the formulation and implementation of evidence-based policy.

• ACET has been a strategic partner of the TAP since its inception. TAP and ACET receive numerous requests to support African governments on their economic transformation agenda. In this pursuit, ACET regularly produces key knowledge products, such as the African Transformation Report, the African Transformation Index, as well as numerous multi-country studies exploring national and regional progress towards economic transformation. ACET has also been endorsed by the G20/Compact with Africa initiative (CwA) Ministers of Finance to support implementation of CwA in Africa. It is also supporting private sector development through its business incubator program, ACET Business Transform (ABT), working with Small and Medium Enterprises in Ghana with plans for expansion to several African countries in the coming years. Increasingly these requests also address governments’ COVID-19 recovery strategies, where countries would benefit from cross-country peer learning, and for access to the African knowledge community to develop and refine these plans.
