Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC)

The NEF responds to the mission of the government of Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) to promote “knowledge, innovation and solutions to improve the lives of people in the developing world” by creating the first global platform to showcase science and scientists from Africa. The NEF will fulfill IDRC’s first strategic objective by extending its reach beyond the 500 people attending the NEF Global Gathering to include the broad community across Africa and globally. The NEF will respond to IDRC’s second objective by making the event youth-focused and focused on the 15x NEF Fellows and 54x NEF Ambassadors, creating the African leaders of tomorrow.
