Connecting Brazil, Africa and global partners for sustainable development
We foster international cooperation by bringing together governments, businesses, and leaders to drive investment, innovation, and sustainable development
About us
The Brazil Africa Institute (IBRAF) is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening cooperation between Brazil, Africa, and partners around the world.
Through high-level dialogue, technical cooperation, knowledge production, and capacity-building initiatives, we bring together governments, the private sector, academia, international organizations, and civil society to address shared development challenges and create opportunities for inclusive growth.
Guided by the principles of South-South and Triangular Cooperation, we work to empower the Global South by fostering meaningful partnerships and delivering long-lasting impact where it is needed most.

Strategic Events & Global Dialogue
We convene high-level forums, conferences, and strategic dialogues that create opportunities for networking, institutional collaboration, business engagement, and the development of joint initiatives among stakeholders in Brazil, Africa, and beyond.
Research & Publications
We produce research, policy papers, books, and other publications that inform global debates and address pressing contemporary challenges. Our work is developed both independently and in partnership with leading institutions, fostering knowledge exchange and evidence-based solutions with global relevance.
