Partners

At ASE it is our key goal to empower the next generation of African scholars that are capable of producing world-class research. We do so through excellence in 3 key areas namely academic training, research and policy advice from our 5 research think tanks and global networks, all informed by African perspectives. Against this background ASE has concluded over 60 strategic partnerships since its foundation. Focusing on the 3 key areas, ASE’s partners range from regional governmental cooperation with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) and theCentral Bank of West African States (BCEAO), to a total of 72 research projects with multilateral financial institutions like the World Bank, bilaterally with development agencies like USAID, FCDO, DANIDA, AfD, GIZ and foundations such as Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, Open Society Foundation or the German Friedrich Ebert foundation.

My personal association with the school emanates from ASE's vision and testament to the fact that solutions for Africa should emerge from Africa and lead the way in global narratives on knowledge and expertise for growth and development.
