Where Indigenous Knowledge Systems, guided by community authority and strengthened through IPROSA's leadership, contribute to recognised, investable, and self-determining Indigenous economies that create value, opportunity, and prosperity for present and future g
We envisage a future where African Indigenous Knowledge Systems contribute to thriving Indigenous economies, resilient communities, and prosperity for present and future generations.
Our mission is to build the institutional foundations of Africa's Indigenous economy by advancing Indigenous governance, professional recognition, innovation, industrialisation, and economic participation across the continent.
Academically anchored at Walter Sisulu University and convened in partnership with BigAfrica and the Indigenomics Institute Canada, IPROSA operates through a growing network of universities, Indigenous institutions, researchers, governments, development partners, and community organisations across South Africa and the continent.
Our work aligns with the African Union Agenda 2063, wellbeing economy frameworks, and Indigenous governance systems. IPROSA actively engages district, provincial, national, and continental institutions in support of the governance and long-term development of Africa's Indigenous economy.
