项目摘要
Seven of the world's 10 most unequal countries are located in Africa - this while the continent's population is bound to take a rapidly rising share of the world's population in the next 30 years. Understanding Africa's inequality dynamics is a key component of the international inequality puzzle.The establishment of the African Centre of Excellence for Inequality Research (ACEIR) directly addresses the analytical, empirical and data needs that are required for policy interventions and civil society action the tide against inequality. ACEIR's current partner universities are located in western, eastern and southern Africa. The Centre's launch research programme is aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of relevant data on inequalities in Africa. Equally as important, the ownership of local knowledge production on national and continental inequalities will underline the voice and agency vested in African scholars and research institutions.ACEIR's goal is to contribute to deep, multidimensional and interdisciplinary understandings of inequality in each country context, and a continental and global understanding of how inequalities can be overcome. Our approach includes building capacity for frontier data scholarship and the interpretation of analyses for policy. Textured country-level analyses of inequality that are also anchored in historical legacies of the political economy of African development is in the process of being undertaken. ACEIR researchers will link processes related to inequality within each country to international measurements such as the Sustainable Development Goals. The initial research programme sees researchers working with the national statistical offices to:- Use census, survey and administrative data to profile and map inequality and poverty;- Analyse the dynamics of poverty and inequality by using panel data; and- Use the evidence generated by a set of tax and social expenditure benefit incidence analyses as a platform for dialogue on strategies to overcome poverty and inequality.Each of the Centre's nodes are members of the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA). ACEIR has its hub at the University of Cape Town (UCT), which also hosts the southern African node. The western and eastern nodes are hosted by the University of Ghana, Legon; and the University of Nairobi, respectively. The hub and each node are led by researchers of stature and who are well-established in the contemporary African and broader international inequality communities. This grant will facilitate connecting the Centre into these broad networks, including their own countries' statistical agencies. DataFirst, based at UCT, has over twenty years' experience in the curation and dissemination of data and is the only data service on the African continent to have achieved the CoreTrustSeal certification as a trusted repository. Over the last decade DataFirst has also developed a specific competence in the assessment of data quality issues and in the harmonisation of data. DataFirst will play a central role in the Centre's data preparation, harmonisation and training activities across the three nodes initially, with a longer term view to extending support to the Centre's other partners, including the current partnership with the University of Bouaké, Côte d'Ivoire, and partnerships in the process of being explored, with Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, and also Kenyatta University, Kenya.The Centre's establishment is supported by an initial start-up grant from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) as part of the Research Facility on Inequality funded by the European Union, as well as awards from ARUA and each partner university.
世界上10个最不平等的国家中有7个位于非洲,而非洲大陆的人口在未来30年内必将占世界人口的比例迅速上升。了解非洲的不平等动态是国际不平等难题的一个关键组成部分,非洲不平等研究英才中心的建立直接解决了政策干预和民间社会行动所需的分析、经验和数据需求,以消除不平等。ACEIR目前的合作伙伴大学分布在非洲西部、东部和南部。该中心的启动研究方案旨在提高非洲不平等现象相关数据的质量和可获得性。同样重要的是,拥有关于国家和非洲大陆不平等现象的地方知识产品将突出非洲学者和研究机构的发言权和代理权,非洲经济和社会研究中心的目标是促进对每个国家背景下的不平等现象的深入、多层面和跨学科的理解,以及对如何克服不平等现象的非洲大陆和全球理解。我们的方法包括建立前沿数据奖学金和政策分析解释的能力。目前正在对国家一级的不平等现象进行细致的分析,这些分析也植根于非洲发展政治经济的历史遗产。ACEIR的研究人员将把每个国家内部的不平等现象与可持续发展目标等国际衡量标准联系起来。在初步研究方案中,研究人员与国家统计局合作,以便:-利用人口普查、调查和行政数据来描述和绘制不平等和贫穷的概况;-利用小组数据分析贫穷和不平等的动态;而─利用一套税收和社会支出福利发生率分析所产生的证据,作为关于消除贫穷和不平等战略的对话平台。研究型大学联盟(ARUA)。ACEIR的中心设在开普敦大学,该大学也是南部非洲节点的所在地。西部和东部节点分别由加纳大学勒贡分校和内罗毕大学主办。该中心和每个节点都由在当代非洲和更广泛的国际不平等社区中地位稳固的研究人员领导。这笔赠款将有助于中心与这些广泛的网络,包括其本国的统计机构建立联系。DataFirst总部设在UCT,在数据管理和传播方面拥有20多年的经验,是非洲大陆唯一一家获得CoreTrustSeal认证的数据服务机构。在过去的十年中,DataFirst还在评估数据质量问题和协调数据方面发展了一种特殊的能力。“数据第一”将在中心的数据编制、协调和培训活动中发挥核心作用,最初将在三个节点开展这些活动,从长远来看,将向中心的其他合作伙伴提供支持,包括目前与科特迪瓦布瓦凯大学的伙伴关系,以及正在探索与埃塞俄比亚阿迪斯大学和肯雅塔大学的伙伴关系,肯尼亚:该中心的建立得到了法国发展署作为欧洲联盟资助的不平等问题研究基金的一部分提供的启动赠款,以及ARUA和每个伙伴大学提供的奖励。
