Institutions
The MCCRAfrica Project is built on collaboration. At its core is network of institutions working together to contribute their expertise, resources, and perspectives to th eprojec. Each institution plays a distinct role, whether advancing research, supporting implementation, shaping policy, or fostering community engagement. Together, they form an ecosystem of knowledge and action, united by a shared commitment to meaningful, measurable impact.
The project involves researchers from several institutions including: The University of Leiden (The Netherlands); Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, (Mozambique), Ahmadu Bello University in (Nigeria), University of Buea (Cameroon), Cavendish University (Uganda). Université de Kinshasa (DRC) and ODI Global.
