that designs and delivers research mentorship with and for African academics. Our mission is to develop African scholars who are self-assured, reflexive, critical, and confident. Our mentorship strategy is based on the creation of a non-hierarchical learning environment that values peer-to-peer learning, wellness, lifelong learning, and learning by doing. Eider Africa has been providing numerous customised real-time research support programmes to postgraduate students, instructors, freelance researchers, and universities for the past six years in order to better understand and improve the ecology in which African scholars are nurtured. We have developed several mentorship approaches in order to better understand the underlying issues that impede the sustained creation and utilisation of African knowledge. Our mentoring approach combines individual and group mentoring both online and in person.

time, our experiences in Africa have been told through a specific world view dominated by particular voices. This has led to the selective understanding of our realities, the proliferation of short-term solutions to long term complex problems, hierarchies in knowledge production and the invisibility of our intellectual contributions. At Eider Africa we want to continuously dismantle the power and epistemic inequalities in our contexts. We believe African researchers have to be incharge of producing and utilising knowledge in the continent.\n<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"extra-space clearfix\"> <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d052c7\" data-id=\"9d052c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n        <div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n                        \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1657887 cms-fancyboxs cms-fancybox-layout-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-cms_fancy_box\" data-id=\"1657887\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"cms_fancy_box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cms-fancybox-wrap cms-radius-10 cms-transition bg-white cms-shadow-1 p-20 p-lg-40 text-start\">\r\n    <div class=\"cms-fancybox\">\r\n                <div class=\"cms-fancybox-inner row gutters-20 gutters-grid\">\r\n            <div class=\"cms-fancybox-icon-bg absolute cms-abs-b-30 cms-abs-r-30\">        <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"cms-icon cms-fancy-icon-bg text-80 text-light-grey rtl-flip fas fa-road\" style=\"\"><\/div>        <\/div>            <div class=\"cms-fancybox-content col relative z-top\">\r\n                    <h4 class=\"cms-mainheading cms-heading mt-n5 mb-20 text-20  text-heading empty-none\">OUR HOW<\/h4>\r\n    <div class=\"extra-space clearfix\"> <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cms-desc text-16  text-body empty-none\"> We strive to continuously develop African research ecosystems so that they may encourage transformative, collaborative, holistic growth and wellbeing of researchers, and are based on lifelong learning. As a result, we see the need to build research mentoring programmes with African researchers, provide more customised support for academics, and create communities of support that reflect the concept of Ubuntu. We envision a future where African scholars are in charge of producing and using knowledge.\nThere is a need to provide more personalized support for scholars to address the low completion rates for postgraduate and doctoral level scholars within the EAL journal club and beyond in order to achieve Eider\u2019s vision.

Home Learn about us Eider Africa is&#8230; Eider Africa is an African women-led and owned business that designs and delivers research mentorship with and for African academics. Our mission is to develop African scholars who are self-assured, reflexive, critical, and confident. Our mentorship strategy is based on the creation of a non-hierarchical learning environment that values peer-to-peer learning, wellness, lifelong learning, and learning by doing. Eider Africa has been providing numerous customised real-time research support programmes to postgraduate students, instructors, freelance researchers, and universities for the past six years in order to better understand and improve the ecology in which African scholars are nurtured. We have developed several mentorship approaches in order to better understand the underlying issues that impede the sustained creation and utilisation of African knowledge. Our mentoring approach combines individual and group mentoring both online and in person. Join us! Eider Africa Vision &#038; Mission Vision &#038; Mission VisionA future where African scholars are in charge of producing and using knowledge. MissionCreating environments that put African researchers in charge of producing and using knowledge through personalized real-time support and learning through practice. Our WHY For a long time, our experiences in Africa have been told through a specific world view dominated by particular voices. This has led to the selective understanding of our realities, the proliferation of short-term solutions to long term complex problems, hierarchies in knowledge production and the invisibility of our intellectual contributions. At Eider Africa we want to continuously dismantle the power and epistemic inequalities in our contexts. We believe African researchers have to be incharge of producing and utilising knowledge in the continent. OUR HOW We strive to continuously develop African research ecosystems so that they may encourage transformative, collaborative, holistic growth and wellbeing of researchers, and are based on lifelong learning. As a result, we see the need to build research mentoring programmes with African researchers, provide more customised support for academics, and create communities of support that reflect the concept of Ubuntu. We envision a future where African scholars are in charge of producing and using knowledge. There is a need to provide more personalized support for scholars to address the low completion rates for postgraduate and doctoral level scholars within the EAL journal club and beyond in order to achieve Eider\u2019s vision. A future where African scholars are in charge of producing and using knowledge. OUR WHAT Personalised and real-time assistance to learn through practice the art of academic storytelling. EAL has two arms that support emerging scholars master the skillset required to fulfil their dissertation, publication and conferencing requirements and transform them into scholars who are in-charge of producing and using knowledge. The Research Mentorship Collective (RMC) offering paid programs in Individual mentorship, Essential Research Skills Training, Peer Review and Copy Editing. The Africana Journal Clubs that provide members free access to peer learning and peer networking programs. Our Values Cura-Personalis Taking care of the whole researcher with programs that recognise the differentiated holistic needs of women and men researchers. Life-long learning Sustainable production and utilisation of knowledge from Africa by African scholars. Responsible research A research experience that honors African stories and is intentional about respecting the humanity of a research participant and safeguarding their wellness. Story-telling Deconstruct research as storytelling with an aim to strip off the hierarchy in knowledge production and utilisation in the research industry. Open exchange Non-hierarchical and complementary production and utilization and sharing of knowledge\/resources.
