Firoz Lalji Centre For Africa Description
The LSE has had a long relationship with the African continent that goes right back to the founding of the School in 1895.
Building on these past connections and the research focus of over 100 scholars at LSE, the School is foregrounding its work on Africa and with Africans as one of its main priorities for the future.
This is reflected in the student-led LSE Africa Summit, which attracted hundreds of Africans to the school as well as Heads of States, by the provision of scholarships and by LSE's growing links with African universities and its role in providing advice to African governments through the International Growth Centre.
The Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa will link all these activities together and will become a focus for strengthening all aspects of LSE's engagement with the continent.
