The Nordic Africa Institute (Nordiska Afrikainstitutet) is a center for research, documentation and information on modern Africa in the Nordic region. Based in Uppsala, Sweden, the Institute is dedicated to providing timely, critical and alternative research and analysis of Africa in the Nordic countries and to strengthen the co-operation between African and Nordic researchers.
The Institute is financed jointly by the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden), and through six types of grants, NAI offers regularly scholarships to support African Studies.
