Driving Change Through Research

Throughout their fellowship, these researchers will engaged in:

  • Competitive research grants to advance innovative projects
  • Advanced research methods and analysis training
  • Peer-to-peer learning and mentorship support
  • Dissemination of findings through conferences and journals
  • Pathways to inform evidence-based policy and programming

Building a Legacy

Cohort 1 will lay the foundation for a growing community of African scholars committed to producing locally generated, policy-relevant evidence. Their dedication will pave the way for future cohorts, strengthening UAPS and AIR’s mission to build a sustainable ecosystem of African research leadership.

Join us in celebrating the achievements of our inaugural Fellows whose work continues to shape Africa’s research and policy landscape!
