The Africa Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Operations for Resource Management and Food Supply (SCO) is implemented with financial support from DAAD. The Centre is a collaborative initiative of the University of Nairobi (UoN), University of Dar es Salaam (UDBS), Kuehne Logistics University (KLU) and Kühne Foundation.

The Centre harnesses ongoing partnerships with the Kühne Foundation which has helped establish Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD degree programs in business with a specialization in logistics and operations management. The Centre seeks to build capacity for higher education through faculty members’ support and equipping students with skills and knowledge to deal with grand challenges of our time–climate change, biodiversity, and limited natural resources embedding sustainability in logistics and operations.
