The social protection community.
Convening Conversations. Bridging Knowledge.
Jamii means community, and Jamii House is the Institute’s home for conversation, exchange and collective learning.
Social policy and social protection are constantly evolving. New research is published, evaluations generate evidence, governments introduce reforms and institutions release major reports. However, knowledge can only shape policy and practice when people have the opportunity to engage with it.
Jamii House is the Institute’s platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange. It brings together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, development partners and communities to discuss emerging evidence, unpack important developments and share experiences.
Through podcasts, lectures, webinars, conferences and symposiums, Jamii House creates timely and accessible conversations on the issues shaping social protection. It provides a space to ask what new knowledge means for Africa, what lessons can be applied and how policy and practice should respond.
Jamii House ensures that important evidence does not remain in reports or institutional folders. It brings knowledge into conversation so that it can be questioned, understood and used.
