The Capability Grant commenced in August 2019 with the aim to establish and develop the
ARUA Water CoE as an effective, high-performance, hub and network of 8 African Universities’
researchers and post-graduate students. The CoE will use research to catalyse change towards social
and ecological justice and sustainability, paying attention to African community water and sanitation
needs. The Capability Grant proposal includes capacity-building, exchanges and mentorship and this
was envisioned through the development and delivery of courses by each node, as well as skill
transfer grants.
