EXHIBITORS
AFRICA OXFORD INITIATIVE
The Africa Oxford Initiative (AfOx) is a cross-university platform established to bring the University of Oxford’s long-standing, multi-disciplinary engagement with Africa under one platform. The overarching aim of AfOx is to establish equitable research partnerships between researchers based in African institutions and researchers at the University of Oxford. To enable effective partnerships that are genuinely co-developed between researchers from the University of Oxford and African institutions, AfOx offers two main research partnership schemes- the AfOx Travel Grant and the AfOx Visiting Fellowship Program.
AfOx collaborations seek new breakthroughs in the fields of medical sciences, big data engineering, astrophysics, conserving environments and ecosystems, archaeology, preservation of ancient languages amongst other research areas.

CENTER FOR EFFECTIVE GLOBAL ACTION
The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) is a hub for research, training, and innovation headquartered at the University of California, Berkeley. We generate insights that leaders can use to improve policies, programs, and people’s lives. Our academic network includes more than 160 faculty, 78 scholars from low- and middle-income countries, and hundreds of graduate students — from diverse academic disciplines around the world — that produce rigorous evidence about what works to expand education, health, and economic opportunities for people living in poverty. CEGA’s mission is to improve the lives of people living in poverty by generating insights and tools for decision-makers backed by rigorous, inclusive, and transparent research.

WORLD BANK
The World Bank’s Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP)is an interactive computational tool that offers users access to estimates of poverty and inequality for more than 160 economies around the world, by region, and globally. Users can access the poverty and inequality estimates R (pipR) and Stata (pip.ado) and the underlying anonymized microdata through a remote execution system called Statistics On-Line.
