Rewire to Build
Rewire to Build (RtB) is a research and policy think tank and advisory firm committed to advancing sustainable, evidence-based solutions for Africa’s most pressing development challenges. We generate high-impact research, shape policy discourse, and provide strategic advisory services to governments, businesses, and development partners, ensuring that sustainability is not just a concept but a driving force behind economic growth and social progress.
What We Do – and Why
At Rewire to Build (RtB), we bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice to drive meaningful and lasting change across Africa. As a research and policy think tank, advisory firm, and project implementation hub, we work with governments, institutions, businesses, and communities to develop solutions that foster inclusive growth, environmental sustainability, and social progress.
Africa stands at a critical juncture, with immense opportunities and pressing challenges in governance, economic development, climate change, and social equity. Policies and decisions made today will shape the continent’s future for generations. However, progress is often hindered by weak institutional frameworks, lack of evidence-based policymaking, and ineffective implementation.
At RtB, we believe that sustainable development is not just an aspiration but a necessity. Our work ensures that policies are well-informed, strategic decisions are data-driven, and interventions are designed to create real impact on the ground. By combining research with hands-on implementation, we help transform ideas into action, shaping a more resilient and prosperous Africa.
