WHY AFRICA
NEEDS MORE
RESEARCHERS

Did you know?

Africa contributes less than 2% of global research output despite being home to 17% of the world's population. Without a strong research foundation, scientific breakthroughs, innovation, and technological advancements will remain out of reach.

At YARA, we believe Africa needs more researchers—not just in numbers, but in quality, innovation, and impact. Our programs are designed to change this reality by training and mentoring the brightest young minds across the continent to discover new knowledge that drives Africa's prosperity.
