Supporting Sustainability Science in Africa through Collaborative Initiatives
Leveraging Sustainability Science Clusters (SSCs) and strengthening Early Career Programs are key strategies to advance sustainability research in Africa. Initiatives include promoting disciplinary excellence, fostering knowledge production in priority thematic fields, and providing support and resources for local researchers. By establishing collaborative networks and enhancing research capacity, sustainable solutions can be developed to address Africa's sustainability challenges effectively.

Presentation Transcript
An introduction How can we support and conduct Sustainability Science in Africa Dr Chika Felicitas Nnadozie/Institute for Water Research, Rhodes University
Leveraging Sustainability Science Clusters (SSCs) to promote disciplinary excellence, and multi-,inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge (co-) production in identified priority sustainability thematic fields relevant to Africa s sustainability challenges. SSCs will serve as the science, intellectual base and the scientific exchange networks of the Future Earth Africa Hub bringing together membership from the academic, practice and policy communities to develop and advance an African-centred, people-oriented sustainability science-policy-practice scholarship and engagement.
Developing and strengthening Early Career Programs Dedicated Support for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) Establishing Platforms for Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Collaboration Facilitating Co-supervision to Enhance Holistic Development Establish exchange programme for sustainaibilty science
Support and Resources Creating enabling environment for innovations Provide grants and resources for local researchers. Research capacity strengthening
