Background and context
REPOA is a Tanzanian Think Tank established in 1994 whose mandate is to improve the lives of people through policy research. The mandate encompasses research work and active engagement in policy dialogue on promoting socio-economic transformation for inclusive growth. Our primary research areas, which revolve around the production of policy knowledge and evidence, are grouped into three interrelated strategic research themes and three cross-cutting themes:
- Productive Sectors & Inclusive Development (psid)
- Gender & Human Development (GHD)
- Governance, Accountability & Citizen Participation (GAP)
Cross-Cutting Themes: Environment & Climate Change, Technology, Innovation & Data Management Our research themes, therefore, have been developed with the view to support Tanzania’s and the region’s efforts towards meeting key national objectives and designing policies and stimulating action in line with the five (5) interdependent critical elements for sustainable development, namely people, prosperity, peace, planet, and partnerships. In order to support our research activities, REPOA seeks information resources which will enable researchers to understand studies which are already done, methodologies used, available theories to guide new studies etc.
