The Oxford Research Network on Government in Africa (OReNGA) co-ordinates and facilitates research on the politics and modern history of government in Africa. It functions as a central point for research in Oxford on African government and brings together scholars from several different disciplines who work on common sets of issues. OReNGA runs a funding scheme for members of the University conducting research on Africa, organises events, primarily run by and for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, and contributes to the undergraduate and graduate degree programmes in African Studies.
