Research that Informs, Policies that Transform

Research & Policy at ACCMP

At the African College of Crisis Management and Peacebuilding (ACCMP), research and policy development stand as central pillars of our mission to promote sustainable peace, effective crisis response, and resilient communities across Africa and beyond. We believe that solving complex crises requires evidence-driven strategies, rigorous scholarship, and well-informed policies that address the root causes of conflict, humanitarian emergencies, and institutional vulnerabilities.

Our Research Focus

ACCMP undertakes multidisciplinary research that combines insights from peace studies, security, political science, development studies, humanitarian response, psychology, and business continuity. Key areas of research include:
1. Conflict Prevention & Resolution: Exploring innovative strategies to prevent, de-escalate, and resolve violent conflicts.
2. Peacebuilding & Mediation: Strengthening grassroots and institutional mechanisms for peacebuilding.
3. Crisis Management & Humanitarian Response: Developing models for effective disaster response and recovery.
4. Business Continuity & Risk Analysis: Examining how businesses and institutions can remain resilient in the face of crises.
5. Policy Innovation: Researching governance frameworks that support stability, inclusion, and peace.

Policy Development and Advocacy

Research at ACCMP goes beyond academic inquiry — it directly informs policy frameworks, advocacy initiatives, and decision-making across Africa. By translating research findings into actionable policies, ACCMP works closely with governments, NGOs, businesses, and international organizations to design:
1. National and regional peacebuilding policies
2. Crisis response guidelines for humanitarian agencies
3. Business resilience policies for corporate institutions
4. Advocacy papers that amplify community voices at policy-making tables

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

ACCMP partners with universities, think tanks, governments, and international organizations to co-create knowledge and influence global best practices in peacebuilding and crisis management. Through our publications, policy briefs, academic journals, and public dialogue sessions, we ensure that research findings reach both practitioners and policymakers.

Impact-Driven Research

The Research & Policy arm of ACCMP is designed not only to analyze challenges but also to provide practical, evidence-based solutions that strengthen Africa’s capacity to manage crises. By combining local context with global standards, we ensure that our work has both immediate relevance and long-term impact.
