Africa Research Centre
The Africa Research Centre bridges African insights with global perspectives thereby amplifying African thought leadership through transformative research, innovative teaching, and strategic partnerships, to advance meaningful change and regionally and globally.
Elevating African thought leadership and perspectives on the global stage
Since the start of its key initiatives in West Africa in 2019, the Africa Research Centre has emerged as a leader in interdisciplinary research, focusing on key growth areas on the African continent. Its expertise spans youth empowerment, entrepreneurial ecosystem development, and the advancement of Africa’s creative sector, supported by access to significant research funding.
These efforts have resulted in high-impact publications and innovative pedagogy, shaping entrepreneurship, business management, and leadership programs for African youths and senior executives.
Beyond research and teaching, the Centre's work has directly influenced the transformation of organisations, industries, and policy frameworks. It has forged strategic partnerships with leading universities across the continent, particularly in West Africa, and collaborated with key industry players to empower Africa’s youth and drive sustainable development.
