Description
African research leadership in theSocial Sciences and Humanities (SSH) is critical for informing the global knowledge base and for providing African policymakers with contextually relevant data and advice. While African research in some fields, such as health and agricultural sciences, is on the increase, SSH research continues to lag. The Science for Africa Foundation (SFA) aims to mobilize SSH researchers to contribute to solving the developmental challenges facing the continent. With Corporation support, SFA will strengthen research leadership in these critical disciplines by awarding competitive fellowships to up to 25 early-career researchers, delivering a blended training program focused on research and communications skills, and providing mentoring and support for policy outreach and publishing.
