The seeds of the Network for Educational Advancement and Development were planted by Dr. Vincent Chidindu Asogwa during the International Conference on Advancing the Continent of Africa through Research, organised by the National Association of African-American Studies and held at the University of South Africa, Pretoria, between July 23rd and 25th, 2023. His attendance at the conference was sponsored by the University of Eswatini, Eswatini, where he realised that Africa has barely 1% of the world's global research output and, on average, contributes about 0.4% of its GDP to research and development. It was agreed by the inaugural group that there is a lack of research on Africa made by African researchers; hence, the need to strengthen research capacities and North-South partnerships.
In particular, the network serves as a meeting and communication forum for all its subscribers resident in Africa and elsewhere. It is a network for the exchange of knowledge on an international level and constitutes machinery allowing for a better dissemination of information on research, teaching and outreach. The network also aims at the development of relations with all other professional and research-oriented networks that are active in the field of economics, management and development.
