Centre for African Studies 2.42

The NTU-SBF Centre for African Studies is a unique trilateral platform with government, business and academia that promotes knowledge and expertise on Africa, to accelerate the deepening of business and trade ties between Asia and Africa.

The centre will conduct research, educational and publishing programmes to facilitate the advancement of three key objectives:

1. Provide thought leadership on Africa to increase business knowledge and understanding of Africa – investment opportunities, risks and challenges, and sustainable strategies for the continent’s various markets.
2. Build human capital to resource businesses’ engagement and expansion in Africa, educating and nurturing a community of thinkers and doers who are Africa-savvy.
3. Foster an integrated Africa network that cultivates ties among business, political and thought leaders in South-east Asia and Africa to narrow the knowledge gap between both regions
