Abstract
In this edition, we are keen to share news on the AERC Biannual Research Workshop, a flagship event whose plenary attracts over 300 researchers, academics, policymakers, non-state actors and economists. The event provides a forum for participants to interact with a global network of professionals to discuss issues relevant to Africa’s economic development. Other stories featured include AERC thematic and collaborative research projects, training activities, including joint facilities for electives, events AERC is featured in, like the exciting session at the Third Edition of the African Conference on Debt and Development (AfCoDD III), new publications as well as success stories from esteemed members of the AERC network family. We also present in this edition inspiring stories about our alumni network members. These are fellows who have benefited from the AERC capacitybuilding programmes, Dear Readers, As a member of the AERC community, we are thrilled to welcome you to the latest issue of our newsletter. As the AERC continues to deliver on its mandate across the continent by creating an innovative blend of research, training, and policy outreach activities, it remains a priority for the secretariat to update all its stakeholders on the latest stories, reports, studies, publications, and testimonials. In this regard, we feature Christian Mwemezi’s personal experience during his Collaborative Master’s Programme (CMAP) at the University of Ghana. As the end of the year is fast approaching, the AERC is already embarking on a major overhaul of its operations to remain relevant and move with the times. This has been one of my priorities as the interim executive director. It includes a more innovative resource mobilisation strategy, a more customer-oriented operations strategy and a more inclusive talent management structure within the secretariat and the network. As thedigital revolution is in full swing across the continent, you will find through our articles, how the AERC training and research programmes have evolved to ensure that our researchers and students remain in touch with the latest trends across the industry.
