Affiliations

Advance Africa views collaboration with credible institutions and organisations as an important function in providing superior value to our clients by drawing on our extensive global networks.
One such collaboration is with Rhodes University’s Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science (DIFS), a leading internationally-recognised African academic institution in the study of fish and the sustainable use of aquatic resources.
Advance Africa’s strong affiliation and working relationship with DIFS on strategic projects was first established through Professor Hecht’s long career at DIFS and ongoing institutional supervision.
