NOVAFRICA aims at producing distinctive expertise on economic development in Africa. A particular focus is on Portuguese-speaking Africa, i.e., Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe.

Central to our activity is an in-depth understanding of the target economies, including their institutions, private sector, and civil society. We believe that development is about a myriad of successful micro-experiences that we want to document, understand and communicate. We value multidisciplinary approaches to the role of individuals, organizations and institutions in the process of prosperity creation. We ground our knowledge on the top-quality economic and management research that we produce. This research is meant to reach all interested stakeholders through policy recommendations, operational and strategic advice to companies and organizations, consultancy and capacity building in Africa.
