Science for Africa Foundation

The Science for Africa Foundation is a Nairobi-based African grant-making organisation supporting research and innovation across the continent. It runs Grand Challenges Africa and DELTAS Africa and is the active successor to the science-funding programmes formerly administered by the African Academy of Sciences. Its portfolio spans health, climate and environment, food systems, genomics and population cohort science, alongside research management and capacity strengthening for African institutions. Several programmes are co-delivered with international partners including Grand Challenges Canada. Applications are made through the Foundation's own grants management system, and calls are published on its funding pages.
