AfricaArray is an innovative programme to promote, strengthen and maintain a workforce of highly trained African geoscientists and researchers for Africa's natural resource sector. Well-trained geoscience professionals are key to the sustainable development of this sector as demand grows for Africa’s oil, gas and minerals from world markets and for water resources within Africa.
A 20-year initiative, AfricaArray refers to scientists working on arrays of continent-wide linked projects; arrays of shared training programmes and observational networks; and above all, a common vision that Africa will build and retain capacity in an array of technical and scientific fields.
AfricaArray also is committed to enhancing the diversity of the geosciences workforce in Africa and the U.S.
