The Strategic Studies Group

The Strategic Studies Group (SSG) is an ACBF network of global development experts and practitioners made up of the ACBF Policy Institutes Committee (PIC), select development partners, and the ACBF-supported training programs and university partners. The SSG assists the Foundation in identifying key policy and emerging issues requiring the attention of the Foundation and its stakeholders.

The SSG works with the ACBF to identify research themes and advises the Foundation on strategic and pertinent issues that need special attention. It also serves as a ‘review panel’ that shapes, examines and evaluates the high level studies undertaken by the Foundation.

Objectives

•    identify key yearly pertinent thematic research areas in collaboration with the ACBF and the ACBF’s Policy Institutes Committee (PIC);
•    blind peer-review the studies;
•    ensure that the final published manuscripts are empirically relevant and accurate with clear policy recommendations; and
•    represent the ACBF at select global forums.
