National Faculty

WACCBIP has built an expansive faculty base composed of experienced world-class researchers—at the University of Ghana, as well as other prestigious research institutions in Ghana—who bring on board high-level expertise in the focus areas and world class infrastructure to support research and training.

The Centre also draws on a strong cadre of postdoctoral fellows currently supported by various grants who are eventually assimilated into the University faculty on permanent appointments.
