Explore our dedicated research initiatives and regional observatories.
This observatory explores the historical and contemporary dimensions of slavery, servile labor, and human trafficking in Africa and the Atlantic world. Our research bridges archival study with policy-relevant analysis on modern forced labor.
We analyze conflict dynamics, terrorism, and peacekeeping from an African-centered perspective. The observatory produces strategic briefs, early-warning frameworks, and field-based research on the Sahel, the Great Lakes, and the Horn of Africa.
Our cross-cutting research investigates Gender, the Arts, and Religion as vectors shaping peace and security in Africa. This program connects anthropological fieldwork with contemporary policy discourse.
This observatory examines how natural resource extraction, trade networks, and economic inequality fuel or mitigate conflict across the continent. We produce data-driven reports for policymakers and development actors.
