The African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and N8, the eight most research-intensive Universities in the North of England, including Newcastle, have implemented a three-year programme. It will utilise interdisciplinary research to develop a new understanding of the African food system and help tackle global challenges of:
- disease
- poverty
- climate change
- food insecurity
The partnership operates across six sub-Saharan African countries:
- Ghana
- Kenya
- Malawi
- South Africa
- Tanzania
- Zambia
It also fosters capacity building and skills development for academics in both regions.
