About ARIN
Fellowship
Connecting brilliant minds across 38 Sub-Saharan African countries to drive research excellence and create lasting impact in critical sectors
Transforming Africa's Research Landscape
Over the last decades, Africa has experienced intense research and policy activities in various sectors especially health, agriculture, energy, science and technology, and lately climate change among others. However, research in the continent remains uncoordinated, with little in-continent learning and poor networking among researchers.
The continent lacks impact networks – dedicated platforms for bringing African researchers and policymakers to engage in periodic dialogue, learning, and capability building towards creating research and policy impact.
The ARIN Fellowship program brings together over 200 researchers from thirty-eight countries, focused on peer learning and transformative research practices across Africa.
