Current research projects supported by the BIEA are underway in Sudan, Ethiopia, Somaliland, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe.

The BIEA exists to promote innovative research in all the disciplines in the humanities and social sciences within the wider region of eastern Africa and beyond. The BIEA has a strong tradition of research in anthropology, archaeology, history and linguistics, but recent projects have embraced political, environmental and development studies, geography, public health, and art and performance.
