AFRICA YOUTH RESEARCH NETWORK

Young Africans.
Innovative Research.
Greater Impact.

We are building a generation of young Africans who can generate evidence, produce knowledge and use research to shape better decisions across Africa.

Youth-led. Research-driven. Africa-focused.
AYRN Knowledge • Evidence • Impact
Young African researchers collaborating

Young Africans are often included in research as participants, but have fewer opportunities to lead research, generate evidence and influence how knowledge is used.

AYRN exists to change that.
