AUDA-NEPAD

AUDA-NEPAD is a continental African Union development agency—not a university—with a multi-country operating scope and a policy-to-implementation character. Based in Midrand, it coordinates regional and continental priority programmes, provides evidence-based technical advice, and supports knowledge-sharing across member states and regional economic communities. Its industry interface is built around brokering partnerships and mobilizing resources among governments, private-sector organizations, universities, international financial institutions, UN agencies, and other development partners, helping practical solutions move across borders. Funding is supported through African Union and member-state mechanisms, development partners, international financial institutions, and UN-linked collaboration rather than a conventional university research-grant model.
