Established in 1998, the Afro-Middle East Centre (AMEC) aims to foster, produce and disseminate the highest quality of research on the Middle East, to maintain public discussion and to help shape the public discourse on issues related to the Middle East. Amec’s research includes relations between Africa and the Middle East.
AMEC engages in funded research on the contemporary Middle East, and accepts research commissions from government, business, academia, non-governmental organisations, and community-based organisations.
AMEC is committed to independence, scholarly integrity, and inclusivity.
Its research and outreach are guided by the belief that informed dialogue and critical scholarship are essential for building mutual understanding between Africa and the Middle East.
The Afro–Middle East Centre (AMEC) is Africa’s leading research institute dedicated to the study of the Middle East and the evolving relationship between Africa and the Middle East.
