Architecting Africa's Educational Renaissance Through Nutrition Science

Vice President

International Union of Nutritional Sciences

ThereisaparadoxinthelecturehallsofAfrica.The continent'smosturgentproblems,malnutrition, disjointedhealthsystems,andstagnantpolicy frameworks,remainstubbornlyresilientdespitethe thousandsofgraduateswholeaveeachyeararmedwith theoreticalknowledge.Theabilitytothinkacross disciplines,translateresearchintoaction,andlead confidentlyincomplexsystemswhereagriculturemeets economics,whereclimatescienceintersectswithpublic health,andwheredatabecomesdecision,areallnecessary forsolvingreal-worldproblems.

Thesequestionsarenotrhetoricalmusings.Theyrepresent thelivedworkofleaderswhohavededicateddecadesto buildingtheinfrastructure-intellectual,institutional,and professional,thatmakessuchatransformationpossible.

Education must be practical, regionally grounded, leadershipfocused, and fully integrated into Africa's development priorities. This belief has been reinforced through all my experiences building capacity across the continent.

I have been privileged to mentor and train generations of scientists who are now themselves shaping the next wave of professionals across Africa. My core vision was to establish a truly African-owned scientific platform that rotates across sub-regions and gives young scientists easier access to professional exposure within their own regions.

Africa must transition to competency-based education—one that prioritizes problem-solving, creativity, analytical thinking, and practical application. With the rise of artificial intelligence and tools such as ChatGPT, students can easily access information, but critical thinking and independent reasoning must remain central.
