We implement a multi-faceted approach to safeguard academic freedom.
We systematically track attacks on academic freedom across the continent. This includes documenting specific incidents of academic freedom violations as well as positive developments in the field.
We engage with civil society actors, national governments, international organisations, university administrations, academics, students and other stakeholders to promote advocacy projects and adopt policies that aim to promote and protect academic freedom.
ACAF conducts rigorous research to understand the structural causes of academic freedom violations and to propose evidence-based solutions.
Our research serves as a vital resource for scholars, universities, students, policymakers, human rights defenders, other civil society actors and stakeholders.
