Our work analyses how digital systems influence authority, information flows, and decision making. Artificial intelligence, digital identity, and data infrastructures are transforming institutions and daily interactions. We consider how technology reorganises public services, shapes political behaviour, alters economic opportunity, and creates new forms of risk and responsibility in connected societies.
Our work examines how climate change intensifies pressures on food security, health, land, water, and livelihoods. Rising temperatures, floods, droughts, and environmental decline alter how communities live and move. Adaptation remains uneven due to weak institutions, limited finance, and inequality. These conditions determine who is protected, who is exposed, and how societies withstand climate stress.

We work alongside policymakers, researchers, and communities to co-create evidence shaped by real-world experiences.
Our analysis begins with people and place, ensuring every finding is rooted in African contexts, cultures, and lived realities.
We examine how migration, climate, and technology systems interact — revealing patterns that guide smarter governance.
We connect insights across migration, climate, and technology systems to build an integrated evidence base that reflects Africa’s realities. OLAM transforms fragmented data into coherent intelligence that supports joined-up governance and policy design.
We advance fairness in how knowledge is produced, owned, and applied — ensuring African evidence guides African decisions and shapes global conversations with authenticity and agency.
We translate research into impact — turning grounded analysis into policies, partnerships, and solutions that strengthen governance, resilience, and dignity across the continent.
