The Africa Charter
The Africa Charter for Transformative Research Collaborations is an Africa-centred framework that champions a new model of global scientific research partnerships built on equity and mutual respect. The Charter upholds the continent’s place in the global production of scientific knowledge.
Launched on 5 July 2023 in Windhoek, Namibia during the the Conference of Rectors Vice Chancellors, and Presidents (COREVIP), the Africa Charter is a co-creation by Africa’s major higher education constituencies including the Association of African Universities (AAU), African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), African Academy of Sciences (AAS), CODESRIA and International Network for Higher Education in Africa (INHEA) among others, and is coordinated by University of Bristol (PARC), UCT (HUMA) and UNISA (Albert Luthuli Research Chair). Over 140 signatories from the Global South and North have endorsed the Charter.
