Africa Initiative
Mission
The Africa Initiative (AI) is a faculty-led initiative that brings together scholars, from across Duke University and the Duke University Health System, who have a shared interest, through their research or programmatic activities, in the countries and cultures of the African continent. The goals of the initiative are to:
- build connections between schools, programs, institutes and departments;
- continue to foster new collaborations across disciplines;
- transport existing knowledge gained whether in Durham or the African continent to other Duke locations around the globe;
- and explore and pursue new funding opportunities and sponsored research.
