IPORA (https://ipora.africa/en/) is an international transdisciplinary research network, created to study the major challenges facing the African continent and find concrete solutions. The network was set up in 2023 by researchers from Ethiopia, Côte d'Ivoire, France and Morocco, working in the fields of economics, sociology, political science, public health, anthropology, agri-food science, law and environmental science. The network is open to civil society stakeholders, policy-makers and researchers from all countries and disciplines who wish to create alliances to carry out research that benefits populations and advances the concept of interdisciplinarity.
