ADVOCATS RESEARCH FACILITY

Advocats Research Facility is a public policy and strategic advocacy facility that seeks to influence public policies through research, strategic litigation, advocacy and innovation. It works with governments, NGOs, multinational corporations and international bodies to stir up and shape public policies in the fields of human rights, trade, economics, law and international cooperation. The facility operates in more than 20 countries across Africa, delivering research driven insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers.

The organization positions itself as Africa's leading think tank in economics and development policy oriented research and analysis, supported by a team of policy directors, researchers and internal consultants who oversee research projects and programs. Its base at Makerere University Main Campus in Kampala reflects strong ties to academic institutions and practical policy delivery.

In client service terms, Advocats Research Facility engages governments, NGOs, multinational corporations and international bodies to influence policy agendas through evidence-based research, strategic advocacy and capacity building. It provides tailored policy solutions, ongoing monitoring and evaluation, and embedded support to ensure policies move from analysis to implementation.
