This website has been developed as part of WIDER’s project on Designing Africa’s Poverty Strategies: Creating the Capacity for Policy Simulation. It provides a user-friendly access to 5 African country microsimulation models. You can develop your own tax and transfer policy scenarios or conduct “what if” simulation analysis. Each model provides you with the poverty, distribution, and budgetary impacts of your policy choices and compares the simulation results with the current state or the base scenario. For more information, you can contact Asghar Adelzadeh at asghar@wider.unu.edu.
