Projects and Research outputs

Other than the postgraduate training programmes, the training department also hosts several research projects with earmarked funding from regional and international partners.  The research projects require mostly primary data from the region and are mostly undertaken by postgraduate students and members of the faculty within the network universities. Among some of these projects include:

• Dialogues on the Future of Work in the Global South (FoWiGS), 29th June – 1st July 2021

In March 2021, Fundación Centro de Implementación de Políticas Públicas para la Equidad y el Crecimiento (CIPPEC), and the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) entered into an agreement to collaborate in implementing the Future of Work in the Global South (FoWiGS) project for the Sub-Saharan Africa region. The initiative is funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and managed by CIPPEC.

FoWiGS aims at understanding the implications of technological change on jobs taking into account the specific contexts of developing countries and disadvantaged groups within these countries, and to influence policy towards a brighter future for workers in the emerging world.
