MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM LEADER
Program Director
The Africa Climate Collaborative represents a transformative opportunity for Makerere University and our partner institutions to shape a future where African knowledge, innovation, and leadership drive sustainable, climate-resilient development across the continent. Through our four pillars - workforce development, entrepreneurship, research & innovation, and networks & policy - we are building a generation of young leaders who will create inclusive, equitable solutions to Africa's climate challenges. Together with Mastercard Foundation, we are committed to ensuring that no one is left behind.
