The Africa Research and Impact Network (ARIN) is an international think tank that amplifies African voices and research for impact. ARIN is a platform that brings together over 300 scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from across 40 National Focal Points in African countries and the diaspora, promoting knowledge sharing, research excellence, and transformative policy action.

ARIN's core focus is peer learning and sharing good transformative research and impact practices across Africa. It leverages its deep experience in generating and consolidating evidence on effective interventions across Africa's most critical strategic sectors and themes. Recognizing the continent's wealth of underutilized research, innovation, and best practices, ARIN fosters a unique platform for the science-policy interface. This platform bridges the gap by facilitating the sharing, profiling, and leveraging of the best research and impactful practices from diverse African contexts. Through this peer-to-peer exchange, ARIN empowers stakeholders to inform transformative policy action across the continent. ARIN's vision is to be the catalyst for Africa, where research excellence fuels transformative policy and sustainable development. ARIN envisions becoming Africa's foremost platform for advancing locally driven research, fostering impactful collaborations, and shaping sustainable development policies. By 2030, ARIN aims to address Africa's pressing challenges, leveraging the power of African knowledge systems and evidence-based solutions.
