African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) Jobs in Kenya
AERC has also embarked on building an electronic network among the universities participating in the collaborative PhD and MA programmes. This is aimed at facilitating information sharing and improved access to world resource centres. It should almost go without saying that the impact of the AERC network of researchers and institutions crucially depends on the continued strengthening of its professional stature, the members' enhanced credibility with policy makers, and their active professional involvement in their respective countries.Principles & Objectives
AERC's principal objective is to strengthen local capacity for conducting independent, rigorous inquiry into problems pertinent to the management of economies in sub-Saharan Africa.
Structure
The Consortium's organizational structure allows for ownership of AERC activities by the network of local researchers, an independent determination of the research agenda, and a programme of activities that is responsive to the professional and policy needs in the region, while at the same time ensuring accountability to funders.
Programme Components
AERC has two programme components: Research, and Training
