The Individual Research Fellowship (IRF) programme, a crucial element of the APN, is a tool for improving the calibre and recognition of independent African peacebuilding research both locally and internationally while providing peacebuilding knowledge to important decision-makers, practitioners, and research centres of excellence in Africa and around the world. Scholarship, policy, and practise related to peacebuilding on the continent are significantly impacted by the research-based knowledge that fellowship winners provide. The APN, for its part, strives to incorporate the research-based knowledge that recipients of fellowship awards develop into regional and international discussions, actions, and policies that are concerned with peacebuilding. Additionally, the programme aims to create a highly visible and engaged network of African academics and professionals who can reflect African perspectives and voices onto international peacebuilding discourses, knowledge, and practises.
