Our Work

Our researchers tackle energy and extractive governance across Africa, grouped into thematic desks that cover the breadth of ACEP’s expertise.

Explore policy challenges through four desks — oil and gas, power, fiscal governance, and climate transition — each linking platforms, research, and programmes.

Oil & Gas

Promoting transparency in petroleum contracts, licensing, and revenue management so citizens can follow how resources are governed.

Power

Research and advocacy on electricity access, affordability, and sector reform for a reliable energy system.

Fiscal Governance

Ensuring accountable use of extractive-sector revenues and strengthening public-finance oversight.

How we work

See programmes

Three connected strands — so analysis informs debate, and debate builds institutions.

  • Evidence

    Independent research, policy briefs, and data platforms that clarify how energy and extractive decisions are made — and who benefits.

  • Advocacy

    Public engagement and constructive pressure for transparent institutions, fair deals, and citizen oversight of resource wealth.

  • Capacity

    Fellowships, academies, and hubs that grow the next generation of resource-governance leaders across Africa.
