The UNU Institute for Natural Resources in Africa (UNU-INRA) focuses four core areas: conducting research on natural resources management issues in Africa, supporting capacity development of key stakeholders (universities, research institutions, and individuals) across the continent, offering policy-relevant advice to various stakeholders (including African governments), and sharing and transferring knowledge.
The Institute operates from its main office in Accra, Ghana and carries out some of its programme activities through a network of operational units in five African countries.
