Afrihecom Research Centre LTD (ARC LTD) is a premier Pan-African research and advisory institution dedicated to generating high-quality, evidence-based solutions for the continent’s most pressing climate and environmental health challenges.
We recognize that climate change and its severe impacts on public health, ecosystems, and economic development require rigorous, localized scientific responses. Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex empirical data and actionable government policy, empowering African nations, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and multilateral partners to navigate the structural transitions required for sustainable, low-carbon economic growth.
As a dedicated research centre, we do not merely observe climate vulnerabilities; we deploy advanced analytics to solve practical problems. Our core focus is the critical nexus between climate change, environmental health, and sustainable development.
We bring together an elite consortium of PhD-level climate scientists, air quality experts, biostatisticians, transport economists, environmental engineers, and carbon market architects. Through combining advanced macro-fiscal modeling, geospatial mapping, and rigorous transdisciplinary field research, ARC LTD produces the empirical evidence required to design climate interventions that are technically robust, financially bankable, and socially viable.

AFRIHECOM showed us how to harness nature to build climate resilience. Through orphan crops, circular economy compost, and solar-powered irrigation, our yields doubled despite drought. Their locally-led adaptation research turned our food security challenge into a productive…
Transitioning our hospital kitchen from charcoal to clean cooking felt impossible until ARC LTD provided the evidence base. Their baseline modeling and human systems diagnostics de-risked the investment. Now we cook with solar-electric systems, protect patient health,…
