African Research Initiative (ari)

Our aim is to develop an African research cluster with African agency. 

Through partnering with African Universities, Research institutes, States and Non-governmental organisations in Africa, we aim to develop and deliver research projects with partners from African countries based on the needs of Africans. Currently, most members of staff working on Africa-related research have been able to establish research partnerships which are symbiotic in nature. We intend to make this the norm as we explore the challenges facing the continent and proffer solutions.
