WHAT WE DO

IBRAF’s expertise and vast network allow it to develop projects in various areas, ranging from South-South and Triangular Cooperation to agriculture, rural development, food security, public policies, education, health, trade and investments, financial management, technical training, youth empowerment, gender equality and other topics. Our initiatives are built based on four strategic pillars of action

Capacity-building

Mobilizing organizations, individuals and resources to achieve structural change in the African continent, through the creation or improvement of either physical capacity, such as infrastructure, energy and sanitation, or professional capacity, via educational and technical training. IBRAF organizes academic, capacity-building and technology transfer programs to engage young students and professionals in multiple areas, creating irradiating points of know-how and development

Events

Carrying out events which bring together leaders, experts and authorities from all origins, sectors and realms to dialogue and share experiences, boosting the exchange of know-how and the construction of synergies. These range across a wide spectrum, from high-level fora to summits, meetings, conferences, webinars and more

Research and Publications

Aiming to provide Brazilian, African and other decision-makers with quality, evidence-based and policy-oriented studies for policies and negotiations that can be mutually beneficial and catalyze development projects as well as cooperation, trade and investments. With a qualified team, IBRAF has the capacity to engage in spontaneous and on-demand research activities, creating original and useful knowledge
