A PAN-AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION

PAN-AFRICAN
Reach across all five sub-regions
GRASSROOTS - FIRST

- WHO WE ARE
A Pan-African organization that
listens, builds and measures.
ACSAIR works to support people, communities and organizations across Africa, solving real problems including poverty, hunger, climate change & environment sustainability , youth unemployment, weak access to education and health, child protection, gender inequality and the digital divide.
We take action by working with communities, local leaders, grassroots organizations and development partners to create real change in people’s lives, bringing them together to plan better, use evidence, act, learn and improve.
Statistics, Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Research are tools in our name because they are how we do better work. We use statistics to understand needs, research to avoid guessing, data to guide action and technology carefully and responsibly to make work faster, clearer and more effective.
The Africa Food
Sustainability
Challenge 2026
A skills-based learning challenge built around our self-paced course “Mastering Food Waste Reduction in Africa” – for African youths, farmers, food handlers, sustainability professionals, students and anyone committed to improving food systems. Learn, demonstrate mastery and earn recognition.
- WHAT WE CHANGE
Practical areas where change is visible.
We work with people often left out of development including youth, women, children, farmers, persons with disabilities and underserved communities because their lives, like the issues they face, are connected.
01
Climate, Food & Environment
Climate resilience, sustainable farming, food systems and stewardship of the environment we share.
02
Youth & Women Empowerment
Skills training, decent work and inclusive innovation that opens pathways to dignity and income.
03
Health, Education & Child Protection
Stronger services and social inclusion for the people most often left out of development.
04
Statistics, Research & Responsible AI
Evidence, data and responsible artificial intelligence to make development work measurably better.
- HOW WE WORK
How ACSAIR delivers impact.
Some organizations only do research. Others act without enough evidence. We bring both sides together, working directly with communities while using research, data and clear planning to make development work better.

Scale
What works is grown, shared and taken to more communities across the continent.
- OPERATIONAL AREA
From Kampala, across the continet.
Our long-term goal is to work across the whole African continent including North, West, East, Central and Southern Africa. Headquartered in Kampala, Uganda, we work through partnerships, local teams and activities in different countries.
Every country and community is different. We do not use one fixed approach however we adapt to local culture, language, economy and need. Central planning meets local action, and a good idea from one community helps another a continent away.
- WHY WORK WITH ACSAIR
Close to communities. Serious about delivery.
Build the next chapter of African development with us.
