Get involved

Back a movement that makes modelling count.

Support African governments to target scarce resources with evidence — and to build the case for funding on models they own. Whether you are a funder, a ministry, a university or a modeller, there is a way in.

Ways to support

Three ways in. One movement.

Support can be scoped to the whole movement, a single country, or a single question. Each can be backed on its own or in combination.

Back the movement

The convening core — the engine that makes everything else possible.

  • Bringing ministries and modellers into the same room
  • Country coordination and facilitation
  • Framing the modelling questions each country owns
  • Methods support and supervision for researchers

Good fit for

Capacity-strengthening and research-for-development funders.

Talk to us

Back a country

A full year of the cadence in a single country.

  • Dialogue and discovery sessions
  • A portfolio of country-led modelling questions
  • Researchers placed and supported end-to-end
  • Outputs the ministry can use and cite

Good fit for

Foundations and partners with a country or regional focus.

Talk to us

Back a question

A single modelling question, from framing to finished output.

  • One researcher, one supervisor, one decision
  • A feasible timeline and a clear budget
  • A real answer for a real programme choice
  • A visible result you can point to

Good fit for

Individual donors and mission-aligned philanthropy.

What support enables

Start lean, or go wide.

A first year can be run lean to prove the model in one country, or scaled to run the full cadence across the pilot countries. Indicative figures — final budgets are shaped with the funder.
