AFRIAK – CODESRIA

African Fellowships for Research in Indigenous and Alternative Knowledges (AFRIAK)

Centering Africa’s Indigenous Knowledge Systems

Formally launched in November 2024 with the support of the Mastercard Foundation, the African Fellowships for Research in Indigenous and Alternative Knowledges (AFRIAK) is a three-year research, learning and mentorship programme dedicated to nurturing a new generation of African researchers and practitioners who will work alongside Indigenous knowledge keepers to generate transformative ideas, solutions, and pathways for Africa’s future. The Fellowship is inspired by and honours the legacy of Dr. Sulley Gariba, a Ghanaian intellectual whose work championed Indigenous knowledge and evaluation in Africa. AFRIAK continues his vision by ensuring that African knowledge systems are not only preserved but actively mobilized for the continent’s transformation.

Why AFRIAK?

For centuries, African societies have nurtured deep reservoirs of knowledge – embedded in their communities, cultures, and ecosystems. Yet, these knowledge systems have often been sidelined by dominant Western approaches to research, education, and policy. AFRIAK responds to this imbalance by:

Valuing what we have: positioning Indigenous, local, and endogenous knowledges as equally valid systems of thought and practice.
Fostering co-creation: bridging young African researchers, academics, and Indigenous knowledge keepers in respectful, non-extractive partnerships.
Transforming livelihoods: applying Indigenous knowledge to create dignified and fulfilling work, especially for young people and women.

What AFRIAK Offers

AFRIAK is a platform for research, training, mentoring, and action. Its core activities include:

Research & Fellowship Programme

Young Africans (under the age of 35 years) work in multi-country, multi-disciplinary teams alongside Indigenous knowledge keepers and academic mentors. Each fellowship spans seven months, combining induction, fieldwork, dissemination, and post-fellowship engagement.

Policy Convenings

Fellows, policymakers, and knowledge keepers come together to share findings and advocate for the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in development policies and practices.

Alumni & Community of Practice

Laureates of the fellowship form a vibrant pan-African network of scholars, practitioners, and knowledge keepers committed to advancing Indigenous knowledge systems across borders and generations.

Areas of Focus

Research themes under AFRIAK are diverse and often reflect pressing continental priorities. Each call for proposals will specify the focus areas; however, the themes generally include, but are not limited to, the following:

Indigenous medical sciences and healing practices
Indigenous Knowledge and climate change
Agriculture and agri-food systems
Indigenous science and ecological sustainability
Indigenous technologies and sustainable development
Indigenous knowledge in social capital development
Indigenous Pedagogies and curriculum development
Arts, entrepreneurship, and creative industries
Nutrition, health, and traditional foods
Indigenous languages and science
Indigenous knowledge, religion, and spirituality
Mobilizing Digital systems for Indigenous Knowledge in Africa
Indigenous Knowledge and Methods of Knowing

Our Impact Goals

Over the initial 3-year implantation period, AFRIAK aims to:

Support 400 young African fellows, with 70% being young women.
Build a critical mass of female researchers who will train and mentor future generations.
Generate new knowledge products – from research papers and policy briefs to creative audio-visual outputs.
Strengthen African research institutions and intellectual hubs to sustainably engage Indigenous knowledge.
Contribute to policy shifts that embrace plural knowledge systems for socio-economic transformation.

Who Can Apply?

The fellowship targets young Africans under the age of 35 who are resident in Africa and engaged in research or practice that draws on Indigenous/local knowledge. Both individual and group applications are accepted, with strong emphasis on the participation of women and marginalized groups.

How to Apply

To be promptly notified when the AFRIAK call for proposals is announced, subscribe to our mailing list or follow CODESRIA on its social media platforms. Only applications received via the submission link included in the call will be considered.
