Insights
Astellic’s knowledge platform.
Two platforms, one knowledge cycle. Astellic Perspectives is our own analysis of evidence, policy and implementation. Inside African Systems gives a platform to the people who work inside those systems. Our analysis raises the questions; their experience tests and deepens it.
Our Analysis
Astellic Perspectives
Astellic’s intellectual voice: what we think, based on what we know and what we have seen. Analytical, practical, and grounded in African realities — a view, not a summary.
Results-Based Political Economy Analysis
From understanding power to navigating power for results.
Dr. Benjamin Azariah Mosiwa
Political economy analysis usually explains power. This inaugural Perspective argues it should help you navigate it — toward specific results. It introduces Results-Based Political Economy Analysis (RB-PEA): an approach that makes the desired development result the unit of analysis, maps the political gates every results pathway must pass — Authorise, Deliver, Adopt, Sustain — and turns that reading into concrete entry points for action.
The RB-PEA lens
Four political gates every results pathway must pass: Authorise · Deliver · Adopt · Sustain.
More Perspectives are in development.
African Voices
Inside African Systems
A platform for the people who work inside African systems — policymakers, practitioners, researchers and reformers — to explain how those systems really work, why they struggle, and what makes them work better. Many voices, one question: how do systems really work?
Launching soon
Conversations, interviews and roundtables with people inside African systems.
We are convening a series of conversations across countries, sectors and generations. If you work inside a system — a ministry, a district, a programme, a reform — and can explain how it actually functions, we would like to hear from you.
