The Africa Hub is located at the Nation Research Foundation (NRF) in Pretoria, South Africa. It brings together African scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to develop knowledge
and solutions tailored to Africa’s unique context. The Hub also works to enhance collaboration between African and international researchers, support early-career scientists,
and influence sustainability policies across the continent. The Future Earth Africa Hub has established several Regional Nodes and partnerships to enhance sustainability research across the continent. As of May 2024, five Regional Nodes have been launched:

• North Africa: Hosted by Helwan University in Egypt.
• East Africa: Hosted by Maseno University in Kenya.
• West Africa: Co-hosted by the University of Cape Coast in Ghana and the University
  of Lomé in Togo.
• Central Africa: Hosted by the University of Kinshasa.
• Southern Africa: Co-hosted by seven (7) institutions, namely: Malawi University of Science and Technology, Catholic University of Mozambique, Botswana University of
  Agriculture and Natural Resources, FUTURA ENVI 4WARD-asbl, University of Botswana, University of Namibia, and University of Venda

These Nodes coordinate sustainability research within their respective regions, supported by academic institutions and funding bodies.

In 2023, the Hub launched the Future Earth Africa Hub Leadership Centre (FEAHLC), co-hosted by Rhodes University and the University of Pretoria in South Africa. The centre
oversees these Nodes and aims to integrate Africa’s sustainability science, policy, and funding communities into the global arena.

The National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa serves as the host and funder of the Future Earth Africa Hub, strengthening strategic South-South collaboration and expanding existing networks to enhance sustainability research across the continent.
