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.
Climate & Transition
Advocating for sustainable energy solutions and a just transition that leaves no community behind.
How we work
See programmesThree 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.
