About us
At Modern Africa Research Hub (MARH), we believe that understanding contemporary Africa requires nuance, context, and a willingness to look beyond the headlines. We are an independent think tank dedicated to researching and analyzing the political and economic dynamics shaping Africa today.
Our mission
Providing thoughtful, evidence-based analysis that informs policy and contributes to a deeper global understanding of African realities. We focus on key issues such as governance, development, trade, regional integration, economic transformation, and Africa's role in international affairs.
We are researchers and analysts passionate about shifting the global conversation on Africa — from one that too often relies on stereotypes or outdated assumptions, to one that recognizes the continent’s complexity, diversity, and agency.
Our work
Our work bridges academic rigor with accessible communication. We publish in-depth reports, policy briefs, commentaries, and data-driven insights aimed at policymakers, scholars, civil society, and the wider public. We also collaborate with institutions across Africa and beyond, fostering dialogue and partnerships that support informed, locally grounded perspectives.
Whether we are exploring electoral trends, unpacking the impact of global markets, or mapping new opportunities for sustainable growth, we are guided by the same principle: Africa deserves analysis that reflects its present and helps shape its future.
Welcome to Modern Africa Research Hub — where ideas meet action, and research meets relevance.
