Dear Colleagues,

I am currently forming a dynamic, interdisciplinary African research consortium to foster collaboration, innovation, and policy-relevant research across Sub-Saharan Africa.

To ensure strong regional and linguistic representation, I am seeking motivated, self-driven researchers based in the following five countries:

1. Senegal

2. Kenya

3. Ghana

4. South Africa

5. Cameroon

Who Should Apply?

You are eligible if you:

1. Hold a PhD, or are in your final year of doctoral studies (ABD status).

2. Are affiliated with a university or research institution.

3. Work in ANY field — health, agriculture, climate, education, social sciences, tech, humanities — all welcome!

4. Are proactive, flexible, and excited to co-create — no micromanagement, just mutual commitment.

Why Join?

Be part of an Africa-led, Malawi-initiated research network.

Co-design projects, apply for grants, publish together, and attend workshops.

Build lasting academic partnerships across borders and disciplines.

Help shape a consortium with real continental impact.

(Note: This is a voluntary formation phase — seed funding applications will follow based on our collective strength.)
