Economics

Macro, public finance, micro, and development — applied to African markets.

A complete economics curriculum focused on African economies: macro and central-banking, public finance and tax, microeconomics, development economics, and behavioural / household economics. Practical, not academic — grounded in the structural features that make African markets behave differently from the textbook.

By the end

✓Read central-bank communications and tell signal from noise
✓Understand fiscal sustainability, debt dynamics, and currency crises
✓Decompose inflation into its real African drivers (food, fuel, FX)
✓Design a tax reform that's incidence-aware and politically defensible
✓Apply development-economics evidence to evaluate a policy proposal
✓Use micro theory to read real African markets — banking, telecoms, fuel, microcredit
✓Form your own view on policy without parroting the textbooks

Prereqs

Courses

African Macro 101

Intermediate

How African economies actually work. Monetary policy, fiscal sustainability, FX regimes, inflation dynamics, capital flows, IMF programs, and sovereign debt — taught from inside the continent, not the textbook.

12 modules•~7 hours, self-paced

Public Finance & Taxation

Intermediate

What governments do, how they pay for it, who really bears the burden. Built around the Kenyan / East African tax architecture and the structural realities (informality, narrow PAYE base, devolution) that make textbook public finance only half the story.

9 modules•~8 hours, self-paced

Development Economics

Intermediate

Why some economies grow and others don't, what the RCT revolution has actually settled, the East Asian industrial-policy debate read for African contexts, and the structural-transformation challenge — through 2040.

8 modules•~9 hours, self-paced

Microeconomics for African Markets

Intermediate

Standard micro theory taught with examples from real African markets — fuel and bread incidence, banking concentration, mobile-money network effects, microcredit information asymmetry. Foundational for any economics student or policy analyst.

8 modules•~9 hours, self-paced

Behavioural and Household Economics

Intermediate

The empirically-grounded model of how people actually decide about saving, borrowing, insurance, and risk. Kahneman-Tversky-Thaler synthesised with the African empirical literature on microfinance, mobile money, and household financial behaviour.
