The United Nations University (UNU) is currently engaged in over 50 projects focused on Africa. Please find below a list of Africa-focused UNU projects. [Stocktaking: October 2011]

  1. Capacity-Building in South Africa, Namibia and Ghana to Create Sustainable, Non-Food Bio-Oil Supply Chains

    The European Union (EU) and African partners are collaborating to build sustainable non-food renewable bio-oil supply chains for providing combined heat and power (CHP) electricity, and in the future, the chemical feedstocks needed to replace fossil fuels.

  2. Knowledge Needs Management and Capacity Development of National Councils for Sustainable Development (NCSDs) for Green Economy Governance in Africa

    Developing a green economy, one that improves the human condition while mitigating environmental risks, will provide great opportunities for resource efficient production, poverty eradication and inclusive growth in Africa.
