Columbia Global Centers l Nairobi CGC | Nairobi is one of
Columbia University’s 11 gateways to the world, creating opportunities for research, teaching, global engagement, and impact.

Columbia Global Centers | Nairobi opened its doors in January 2012. The Center began in collaboration with Columbia’s Earth Institute and hosted the Millennium Villages Project, which directly supported half a million people through operations in six African countries. The Center’s major programmatic themes include sustainability, public health, entrepreneurship, and environmental sciences. The Center hosts the Africa Nutritional Sciences Research Consortium, which brings together academic and research institutions across East Africa to build a PhD training program in basic laboratory research in nutritional sciences. The Center hosts diverse projects under Columbia’s President’s Global Innovation Fund as well, often in collaboration with different departments of the Columbia University Medical Center. The Center also houses one of the only study-abroad programs for undergraduates in tropical biology and sustainable development, and helps to organize internships and training programs, such as the Kraft Global Fellows program in partnership with Columbia’s Office of the Chaplain.
