About Africa Indigenous Knowledge Research Network (AIKRN)

The Africa Indigenous Knowledge Research Network was created to undertake research geared towards identifying, recentering and harnessing Indigenous knowledges in Africa. It is aimed at foregrounding the authenticity of African Indigenous knowledges through co-creation, collaboration, partnership with custodians of knowledge such as community elders, traditional leaders, rain makers, and other gate keepers of knowledge and the youth. The Network is an intentional response to the age long silencing and subjugation of African indigenous knowledges and ideas. It is also an innovative platform for fostering linkages between African indigenous knowledge systems with technology and other forms of knowledge from other regions of the world. The Network is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in scope and approach.
