The CIRCLE programme

The CIRCLE programme by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, works to strengthen climate change research within sub-Saharan Africa through an innovative dual approach: supporting individual academics to undertake research, while also working with universities to improve their capacity to support and promote quality research. 

By doing this, CIRCLE enables African researchers to develop relevant local solutions and improve research uptake, which directly contributes to local, national and regional policy agendas.

CIRCLE was delivered with support from  partners' delivery: The African Academy of Sciences, Vitae, and the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Greenwich.

This project is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
