Participating in the Africa Faculty Development Workshop was a truly transformative experience. The professors were incredibly supportive, engaging, and always willing to help. They dedicated their time to guide us through our research projects and papers, providing insightful feedback and practical advice. I learned valuable research methods and gained new perspectives that have greatly enhanced my academic journey. The welcoming atmosphere and collaboration with peers made the experience both enriching and inspiring

“Attending AFDW 2025 meant a lot to me for several reasons. First, the workshop was an amazing networking opportunity. AFDW provided access to an inspiring cohort of well-published scholars, journal editors and academic mentors. The quality of content provided was also top-notch. The entire workshop enabled me to view the study of Africa not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to conduct truly excellent research.”

“Attending the AFAM Conference was a truly eye-opening and transformative experience. Meeting diverse professors from different backgrounds broadened my perspectives in ways I never imagined. Hearing from Prof. Samuel Aryee, Prof. Herman Ndofor, and Prof. Julie, among others, were inspiring beyond words. AFAM is more than a conference; it’s a community that nurtures growth, mentorship, and intellectual exchange across Africa and the diaspora.”

“Attending AFDW means joining a vibrant, pan-African community of seasoned scholars driven by a strong desire to see management research take off from perspectives firmly rooted in African realities. Each edition is a unique experience: whether you are a PhD student, a junior researcher, or a senior academic, everyone learns from one another. It is a true space for intellectual exchange, knowledge sharing, and collective inspiration.”

“AFDW 2025 was more than an academic workshop. It was a catalyst for intellectual renewal. As a researcher in strategy, innovation, and fintech, I found the discussions deeply stimulating and grounded in Africa’s unique realities. The feedback I received reshaped my research lens on how governance and innovation intertwine to create shared value. Beyond that, AFDW connected me with a vibrant community of thinkers who believe, as I do, that African scholarship can drive global conversations on transformation and inclusion. I’m truly grateful for the learning and connections gained through this workshop. “
