Governance and Economic Policy Centre (GEPC) is a think and do governance and development organisation, interested in promoting Economic Governance, Extractive Governance, Political Governance and Climate Change Governance. We are based in Tanzania, with a national and regional focus on East Africa and Africa Great Lakes Region. We do basic research, awareness, training and advocacy.
We are an independent think and do organisation , started as a space for intellectual discourse , and run by a team of professionals with a diverse background in governance, economic diplomacy, taxation , law, trade and investment.
Our vision is to be a catalyst for a society where every governance and economic policy action contributes to equitable sustainable development
Our mission is to facilitate generation and transfer of knowledge, awareness raising and strengthening participation in governance and economic actions for equitable sustainable development.
Our strategy is on a rolling basis with targeted interventions, which are aligned to the different selected areas of governance and economic policy
Our outputs are research, training, analytical and technical pieces written as briefs or online blogs articles that are shared widely with our stakeholders for further awareness and engagement. We convene interactive policy spaces for informed discourse, learning and advocacy. Our targets are citizens, civil society, government and regional institutions professionals, academia, policy makers and users.
Our Change theory is premised on our understanding that if knowledge is generated and shared, then the confidence of users and actors such as citizens , institutions and policy makers, will be built to engage in meaningful discourse and action. This is because linking knowledge and constituency bridges gaps, creates room for change in behaviours and practices amongst people, state and non state actors.
