RSIF has a unique approach that combines intra-Africa academic exchange, and international training. The Fund incorporates a network of African Host Universities (AHUs), which are competitively and rigorously selected universities that offer a PhD programme in any one of RSIF’s thematic areas. RSIF is also building a network of international partner institutions (IPIs), globally recognised universities, research institutes, public and private companies.
