“We Translate Knowledge into actions”
ZRCP operates under the motto of “Translating Knowledge into Actionable Policies” in Zanzibar. The organization seeks to bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice by providing insights that influence socio-economic progress. Our core mission is to conduct cutting-edge research, promote evidence-based policies, and empower Zanzibari communities. Additionally, ZRCP’s vision is to become a leading multidisciplinary think tank in Zanzibar that fosters sustainable development and inclusive growth.
The leading think tank in Zanzibar
Zanzibar Research Centre for Socio-Economic and Policy Analysis (ZRCP) was established in 2021 as a multidisciplinary think tank dedicated to conduct cutting-edge research, policy analysis and technical assignments. The center was founded to address the need for evidence-based policymaking to foster socio-economic development and inclusive economic growth in Zanzibar.
As the leading think tank in Zanzibar, we pride ourselves on over four years of experience in driving evidence-based research and policy innovation. With a team of more than 30 dedicated professionals, we have produced over 50 research papers that address critical socio-economic and governance issues. Our 100% participatory approach ensures that every initiative is inclusive, collaborative, and impactful, fostering sustainable solutions for Zanzibar’s development.


We are open for strategic collaboration on Research and policy making.
The main focus areas aim to foster sustainable and inclusive development through good governance, strong social protection, and economic empowerment.
By promoting transparency and accountability within institutions, strengthening welfare systems for vulnerable groups, and driving innovation through digital transformation, the initiative seeks to create equitable growth.
Additionally, reforms in the financial sector and promotion of private investment will enhance access, efficiency, and long-term economic resilience.
