The West and Central African Research and Education Network (WACREN) offers a forum to collaborate and share knowledge in order to build and operate a world class network infrastructure, develop state of the art services, promote collaboration among national, regional, international research and education communities and build the capacity of the Research and Education Network community.

WACREN is incorporated in Ghana (in August 2010) as a “Private Company Limited by Guarantee”, with no shares. As such, WACREN can be considered as a not for profit association. Incubation of the regional network started at AfNOG 2006 and at the Regional Workshop on Research and Education Networks organised by the Association of African Universities (AAU) in Accra in November 2006. The need to build organizational and technical capacity within constituent NREN countries was identified as a requirement for a viable network.
