Fostering Shared Goals Between Africa and Canada for Mutual Prosperity
The Africa-Canada Policy Innovation Lab is a nonprofit think tank committed to strengthening Africa-Canada relations through innovative applied research. We advance policy and practice, foster dialogue, and promote strategic cooperation to unlock economic opportunity and support long-term stability for a resilient and mutually prosperous future.
Youth, Women & Society
In a rapidly evolving world, both young people and women play critical roles in shaping stronger, more resilient societies. Yet many lack the opportunity to develop the cross-cultural understanding, leadership skills, and economic opportunities needed to drive positive change. ACPiL’s Youth, Women & Society program bridges this gap by connecting Canadian and African youth and women, fostering empathy, collaboration, and active engagement. Through leadership development, entrepreneurship, and policy engagement, the program equips participants with the tools to strengthen their communities, expand economic opportunities, and lead with knowledge, compassion, and determination. Strengthening the next generation and advancing women's leadership will create a future rooted in shared prosperity, strong families, and dynamic, self-reliant societies
Sustainable Futures
ACPiL fosters cross-continental collaboration to develop innovative solutions that empower women and youth as key drivers of sustainable development. We aim to create a resilient and prosperous future for Africa and Canada by promoting responsible resource development, environmental stewardship, inclusive growth, and shared opportunities for long-term mutual prosperity.
Health and Economy
Through innovative research and strategic partnerships, ACPiL integrates health systems, digital technology, and economic development to support women and youth in driving meaningful change. We advance sustainable solutions that enhance healthcare access, foster business innovation, and promote socio-economic growth for underserved communities in Africa and Canada.
