Collaboration with African universities and institutes

The Forum for Africa Studies builds on longterm institutional collaborations as to gain momentum and institutional synergies. Longterm partnerships include those with the Institut des Sciences des Sociétés (Burkina Faso), the Point Sud (Mali), the LASDEL (Niger), and the Dept. of Archaeology and Anthropology, and the Centre for Africa Studies at Eduardo Mondlane University (Mozambique). A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in March 2019 with the Institut des Sciences Humaines (ISH) in Bamako. A Francophone research lab LACET was founded between researchers from Burkina Faso, Mali, and Sweden.

Currently, the most important ongoing programmes include Strengthening Municipal Democracy and Local Development in Mozambique, Decolonizing Research Methodologies, and Citizen Perspectives on Societal Challenges in Mali.

Different departments have their own agreements with African universities, including the Dept. of Archaeology and Ancient History, International Maternal and Child Health, the Dept. of Peace and Conflict Research, and the Dept. of Theology.
