ARIN seeks to identify and leverage key research talents to flexibly and innovatively contribute to Africa's research transformation, policy analysis and capacity building. ARIN provides a peer review platform where best research and impact practices from different African contexts are shared, profiled, and leveraged to inform transformative policy action.




Among the areas that ARIN has pioneered path-breaking research are climate change, knowledge management, science technology, and innovation. The network convenes research and policy platforms on climate action — drawing from researchers on adaptation, STI status, and science-policy interface in Africa.
