ACEIR’s university partners are members of the African Research Universities Alliance. The Centre's hub is located at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, which also hosts the South Africa node. The Kenya node and Ghana nodes are hosted by the University of Nairobi, Kenya, and the University of Ghana, Legon, respectively.
These nodes connect the Centre to their respective networks, including their own countries’ statistical agencies. DataFirst, based at UCT, plays a central role in ACEIR’s data preparation, harmonisation, and training activities across the three nodes.
The Centre’s establishment was supported by an initial start-up grant from the Agence Française de Développement as part of the Research Facility on Inequality funded by the European Union; as well as by awards from ARUA and each partner university.
The support of the African Research Universities Alliance and UK Research and Innovation for the TSITICA project is gratefully acknowledge.
