PESA is an independent think-tank promoting regional integration in SADC and providing research on the political economy of development in Africa.
PESA conducts political economy research and analysis, monitors and promotes regional integration in SADC, and facilitates policy dialogues on issues related to the political economy of development in Africa.
Our Focus
PESA’s work is focused in the following areas:

Political Economy: We provide accurate and balanced analysis of the political economy in each SADC country and a selection of other African countries.

Regional Integration: We monitor the status of regional integration and the promotion of sustainable regional development in SADC.

Policy Dialogues: We facilitate public dialogues on economic policy and political developments in SADC and Africa broadly.
Our Satellite Offices
In FY2022/23, PESA took a bold step to expand its presence and orientation towards the rest of the African continent. PESA now has satellite offices in Luanda, Angola, which will also serve other Lusophone countries; and in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to serve other Francophone countries. This is the first step in a long-term process to grow the organisation and expand our reach – PESA Extends!
