Live coverage
24/7Our origin
An initiative of the African Skills and Innovation Network (ASIN).
PolicyAtlas was founded by Dr. Kelechi Ekuma and incubated inside the African Skills and Innovation Network (ASIN) — a pan-African community advancing the continent's development through higher education, applied research and innovation-led learning.
ASIN's work with universities, DFIs and public institutions surfaced a stubborn gap: the people making the most consequential decisions on emerging economies had no reliable, timely way to see how policy was actually moving on the ground. Dr. Ekuma built PolicyAtlas to close that gap — starting where it matters most, in Africa.
Today PolicyAtlas is the network's flagship intelligence product, live across ten African economies with an expanding roadmap into additional African and emerging markets — anchored in academic rigour, engineered for the pace of capital and cabinet.
PolicyAtlas is led by the same applied-research team that powers ASIN's partnerships with universities, DFIs and public institutions — governance and policy specialists whose work spans higher education, innovation systems and the political economy of development across emerging markets. They direct the analyst engine behind PolicyAtlas' daily briefings and country intelligence, ensuring every signal is grounded in the same academic rigour that defines ASIN's research agenda.
What we stand for
Four principles behind every briefing.
Emerging-market lens, Africa-first
Our analysts, sources and models are calibrated for the operational realities of emerging economies — grounded in African governance systems, not repurposed from Western regulatory feeds.
Evidence over noise
Every signal is cross-referenced against primary sources: gazettes, ministerial releases, central bank notices and legislative records.
Decision-grade output
Briefings are built for investment committees, boards and DFI credit panels — structured, sourced and defensible.
Public-interest by design
As an ASIN initiative, we contribute open policy datasets and capacity-building tools alongside our commercial product.
Build with the intelligence layer for Africa.
Whether you're deploying capital, advising a government or writing the next country strategy — start with the same signal our analysts use.
