About Us
The Leading Think Tank in Zanzibar
Founded in 2021, ZRCP is a multidisciplinary think tank dedicated to evidence-based policymaking for socio-economic development. With over four years of experience, a team of 30+ professionals, and more than 50 research papers, our 100% participatory approach ensures inclusive, collaborative, and impactful solutions for Zanzibar's development.
Open for Strategic Collaboration
We drive sustainable development through good governance, social protection, and economic empowerment — promoting transparency, strengthening welfare systems, and fostering innovation through digital transformation.
Financial sector reforms and private investment enhancement remain central to our mission of creating equitable, long-term economic resilience.
“Translating Knowledge into Actionable Policies”
ZRCP bridges research, policy, and practice to drive socio-economic progress in Zanzibar. We conduct cutting-edge research, promote evidence-based policies, and empower communities — striving to be Zanzibar's leading multidisciplinary think tank for sustainable and inclusive growth.
ZRCP works at the intersection of climate resilience, financial management, and gender-inclusive development to address Zanzibar's most urgent challenges. We analyze fiscal policies, trade regulations, and social protection systems, offering actionable recommendations to ministries and parliamentary committees.
Our teams conduct longitudinal surveys and geospatial mapping to identify poverty hotspots, food insecurity, and environmental degradation. We prototype climate-adaptive agriculture and marine co-management — rigorously measuring outcomes to guide replication and scale-up across the islands.
