The power of higher education — scaling the circular economy in Africa

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation will work with the African Leadership University (ALU) to embed the circular economy across its teaching and research programmes, campus management, and student activities.

The two-year programme has been funded by MAVA, one of the Foundation’s Strategic Partners.

We are excited to work with a young, dynamic, and ambitious university. ALU aims to become Africa’s leading circular economy university and train 3 million African leaders by 2035, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to build a stronger, more resilient economy that also benefits society and the environment.
