We have for the past decade benefited from our continued collaboration with Makerere University, a leading institution in Sub-Saharan Africa. As such, we continue to contribute to the knowledge building for both graduate and undergraduate students through our initiatives and collaborations. The AfriChild Centre Board members met with Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe the Vice Chancellor of Makerere University and discussed how the Centre can contribute to the vision of elevating Makerere University to a Research based University and how the university leadership can continue to strategically facilitate the elevation and expansion of the Centre.
