The Nordic-Africa Center for Development Research is established to undertake research using multidisciplinary approach on the unfolding social and economic vulnerability of Africa’s young, children and women to cycles of instability, extreme weather induced by climate change, epidemics, and weak institutions that failed to provide protections.

It is expected that the findings of the research provides evidence for Nordic-Africa development partnerships to arrive at common understanding on the deep impacts that widespread violations, trauma and psychosocial problems cause on human development.
