CoRE IPD is one of 21 Africa-Europe Clusters of Research Excellence and unites top researchers from African and European universities, working together to address the pressing challenge of reducing inequality to alleviate poverty and deprivation in Africa. This collaborative effort, initiated in 2023 by ARUA and The Guild, aims to bolster indigenous African research capabilities and foster equitable partnerships across continents.

With a focus on the roles of women and youth in shaping sustainable futures, CoRE IPD aligns closely with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for reducing inequalities.
