In an exciting new international partnership, the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have joined-forces to use their collective knowledge, skills and regional expertise to tackle global challenges such as extreme poverty and disease, fragile states and displacement, gender inequalities and food insecurity.

This new partnership, formally agreed in October 2018, will see ARUA and UKRI work together over the next three years to build pan Africa-UK research collaborations across all disciplines to mobilise excellence and forge equitable partnerships with co-creation at their heart.

Makerere University is one of the region's sixteen (16) leading universities that make up ARUA.
