Empowering African Resilience through Innovation and Collaboration
At ResilientAfrica Network (RAN), we harness the power of science, technology, and partnerships to build stronger, more resilient African communities. Together with our partners, we transform challenges into opportunities—protecting lives and sustaining livelihoods against climate shocks, conflict, and poverty.

Advancing Resilience Through University-Led Innovation
RAN is part of the USAID Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN), led by Makerere University. We unite African universities in a mission to research, innovate, and scale solutions that strengthen community resilience. Our focus: empowering local systems to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity from climate change to public health crises
