Who We Are

At the African School of Economics (ASE), one of our core values is the provision of equal-opportunity access to global standards of learning to young people across the continent. We have achieved tremendous success in training young Africans from every part of the region in economics and related fields, who have proceeded to the top universities in the world such as Harvard and NYU for doctoral programs, and also to top positions in such globally pre-eminent institutions as the World Bank and Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA).

With our new department, ASE Athletics, we are applying our tradition of excellence in providing a nexus for undiscovered athletic talent, as well as the academic and sports training to enable them subsist at the very minimum.
