African Diaries

African Diaries is a research-driven African knowledge institution dedicated to documenting Africa’s past, interpreting its present, and contributing to the intellectual foundations required to build its future.

We exist to preserve Africa’s historical memory, produce rigorous research, and translate knowledge into insight that informs governance, innovation, and scientific progress across the continent.

Rooted in scholarship and guided by insight, African Diaries serves as a living archive — a platform where Africa studies itself, defines itself, and builds itself.
