Makerere University, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, is implementing the Africa Climate Collaborative (ACC). This is an eight-year initiative (2025–2033) aimed at empowering Africa’s youth, through transformative education, innovative research, and strategic partnerships that advance climate resilience, sustainability, and inclusive green economic growth.
The Collaborative is being delivered through a consortium of other three universities, including University of Ghana, University of Cape Town and University of Cambridge. The efforts of the partner Universities are coordinated by the Association of African Universities (AAU) - the backbone organisation for the collaborative.
The Africa Climate Collaborative seeks to promote climate-positive growth in Africa by strengthening higher education institutions to equip young Africans with relevant knowledge, practical skills, and resources to effectively respond to climate change while creating sustainable solutions for people and the planet, driving innovation, entrepreneurship, and green job creation.
