Call for Proposal - Implementing Partner

The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Regional Programme-Political Dialogue for Sub-Saharan Africa intends to commission a one-year regional project aimed at strengthening the analytical, strategic and policy development capacities of political actors in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project focuses on enabling evidence-based decision-making and improving policy formulation within democratic institutions and political parties.

The initiative seeks to move beyond ad hoc or intuition-based approaches by introducing structured, data-informed methods that are adaptable, cost-effective and sustainable within resource-constrained political environments.

Objectives of the Project

The project aims to:

• Strengthen the institutional capacity of political actors to develop and assess public policy proposals using empirical and contextual analysis.

• Reduce reliance on expensive, externally driven research by building durable internal analytical capabilities.

• Support democratic representation by improving responsiveness to social, economic, and political realities across diverse constituencies.

• Foster cross-country learning and regional exchange on innovative approaches to political analysis and capacity-building.

Participants can send their applications to info.poldissa@kas.de before 23 February 2026.
