The CoRE IPD is a research partnership between universities from Africa and the European Union for growing African research capacity to address the key scientific question of how to reduce inequality so that poverty and deprivation in Africa are lessened. The Cluster of Research Excellence in Inequlity, Poverty, and Deprivation is one of 21 set up to address societal and scientific challenges informed by the AU-EU Innovation Agenda. The three ACEIR nodes' universities are the ARUA partners in the Cluster alongside three universities from The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities (The Guild). Capacity building for young scholars; and training for policy, civil society, and private sector role-players are central to the Cluster’s 10-year strategy.
