Africa Institute of South Africa Partnerships

The Institute participated actively in partnership events, working closely with the following stakeholders: Universities of Limpopo, Venda, North West,Fort Hare and Wits on the Campus Lecture Series and AYGS conference on knowledge development and capacity building.

Tshwane University of Technology, Thabo Mbeki Africa Leadership Institute, Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization, NRF, Stats-SA, Ditsong Museums, DST and DIRCO were collaborators with AISA on the Africa Day and Scramble for Africa international conference that took place from 25 – 27 May 2011, where we received sponsorships from amongst others the Department of Arts and Culture, Department of Trade and Industry and International Marketing Council of South Africa.

The DST-AISA collaboration involving the North Africa book launch, COP 17, capacity building and Timbuktu proposed project are worth noting. The COP 17 AISA project was in partnership with Department of Environmental Affairs, Institute for Global Dialogue, UNISA, Erasmus Mundus and Solarhybrid. AISA’s project with Rutgers and Texas South universities on a governance and national productivity project kicked off with a seminar at University of Limpopo and meetings at North West University.
