The institute is considered a disregarded LLC for tax purposes and is also exempt from payment of income taxes other than unrelated business income.

Management has evaluated the institute's tax positions and concluded that the financial statements do not include any uncertain tax positions.”

IRS990/Desc0African Urban Lab - The AUL launched in September, 2024. We hosted our first cohort of 38 students from across Africa in November, 2024 for a Professional Diploma in Urban Development. All students were then successfully paired with a Capstone Project -- a real-world project embedded in a real-world organization to put the lessons students had learned in the classroom into practice. We hosted a Public Talk by world-renowned urbanist, Dr. Alain Bertaud on urban planning attended by our students and over 100 Zanzibari community members including government officials, civil society organizations, and interested individuals. The AUL also launched its four research clusters, and one of its training initiatives around implementing urban expansion planning in municipalities across East Africa.
