Institute For Sustainable Futures (ISF)
ISF is a research and training Institution to foster knowledge generation and dissemination for development through evidence-based quality research; capacity building and policy analysis.
Originally founded as PADRI (Policy Analysis and Development Research Institute) in 2011. Evolved to ISF to address Africa’s interconnected sustainability challenges through interdisciplinary research, innovation, and policy engagement. Together with our partners, we have undertaken research and commissioned consultancies in the following areas.
ISF’s research agenda is organised across six strategic initiatives (SI). Each initiative pursues a distinct but complementary contribution to the overarching goal of sustainable development.
ISF’s Cross-cutting Themes
- Gender, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- Climate and Environmental Sustainability
- Digital Technology and Data
- Africa-Centred Knowledge and Decolonisation of Research
