The Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) has partnered with the University of Cape Town in South Africa and the University of Nairobi in Kenya to form the African Research Universities Alliance Centre of Excellence for Inequality Research (ARUA-ACEIR). ARUA-ACEIR’s goal is to contribute to a better understanding of inequality and how they can be overcome from a multi- and inter- disciplinary perspective. The ARUA-ACEIR has been in operation since 2018.
