Policy engagement process
We have identified four channels to support our policy engagement work; inclusive dialogue, thought leadership, knowledge sharing and grassroot policymaking. The AfriLabs Policy Dialogue is a series of consistent and regular engagements seeking to bring together on one platform key stakeholders in Africa's entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem to discuss and proffer recommendations on policy gaps identified by the community. The dialogue outcomes will feed into policy position papers to advise governments and other development partners working in the digital economy in Africa. The AfriLabs Policy Briefs publish opinions, insights and research from AfriLabs member hubs on the priority areas identified in AfriLab's Policy Pathways. In addition, the briefs will provide evidence of the impact of policy options implemented and discuss new pathways to solve the digital ecosystem challenges across Africa. The AfriLabs knowledge exchange platform harnesses lessons and promotes peer to peer knowledge exchange among member hubs, national associations, and policy experts to lead policy advocacy in their countries or communities. The AfriLabs Policy Fund exists to provide financial support to member hubs/individuals leading advocacy campaigns for a change in policy/program in their national/local ecosystem that will create a favourable environment for innovators and entrepreneurs to thrive.
