We run many events at the Centre, including the Lunchtime Seminar Series and Research Workshops during term time, and several conferences and workshops throughout the academic year.

The CSAE Conference is a three day event with a keynote, panels, and parallel sessions on a series of development economics topics. This conference brings together colleagues from across the development economics community to discuss Africa.
We have a limited budget to fund African speakers attending the Conference from Africa. If awarded, funded participants will attend both a pre-conference workshop in Pretoria, South Africa, as well as the CSAE Conference 2025.
CSAE researchers are working on projects across Africa and other developing countries on a range of topics from firms and labour to welfare and behaviour.
IMPROVING LABOUR MARKET OUTCOMES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA
Kate Orkin discusses her work as part of the Mind and Behaviour Research Group on improving labour market outcomes for young people in Johannesburg, South Africa.
CSAE researchers strive to create a close and trusted network of connections with senior officials and advisors in the countries that we are working in to ensure that our research engages with the current challenges faced by policymakers and international organisations in developing countries.
