Governance

The Africa Research Excellence Fund is a UK registered charity which was initially established as a charitable trust by the Medical Research Foundation. In early 2021, AREF was incorporated and established its own Board of Trustees who are responsible for the governance of AREF.

Our Board, led by Professor Nick Lemoine CBE, includes trustees with expertise in science and funding science in Africa, as well as governance, finance, fundraising and communications.

Our trustees act in a voluntary role and do not get paid for the work they do for us.
