  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • Quality Assurance in Africa: Towards a Continental Higher Education and Research Space Juma Shabani, Peter Okebukola, and Olusola Oyewole
    Quality Assurance in Africa: Towards a Continental Higher Education and Research Space Juma Shabani, Peter Okebukola, and Olusola Oyewole Abstract This article is a critical review of quality assurance in higher education in Africa with the purpose of identifying recent results, challenges still to be faced, and actions required to forcefully move towards the con- struction of an African higher education and research space (AHERS). The article identifies factors responsible for the decline in quality and proposes an integrated and holistic conceptual framework for analys- ing quality assurance. It reviews the various initiatives implemented in recent years and identifies, among the results, the establishment of new quality assurance agencies, the creation of a regional quality assurance system in East Africa, the strengthening of institutional development capacities, and capacity building in competencies-based curriculum reform. Challenges include the limited human capacity of quality assurance agencies, ineffectiveness in implementing harmonisation strategies, and the lack of tools required to compare qualifications. The article concludes with recommendations on promoting student and staff mobility to help realise the creation of AHERS. Cet article est une critique de l’assurance qualité de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique. Il a pour objectif d’identifier les récentes études, about the authors: juma shabani is Chargé de mission for Higher Education, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Division of Teacher Development and Higher Education.

This year's conference is themed “Making Arbitration and ADR Work for Africa”, and is the first virtual annual conference of the institute. Over time, adjudicatory processes have been in a flux in Africa. Expectedly, many investors and business proprietors are uncomfortable with this state of affairs. Investments and businesses suffer due to delays and high costs of resolving investment and commercial disputes in Africa through the traditional litigation track in the courts.

  • Call for Papers  Rationale
    YaoundeYaounde InternationalInternational SymposiumSymposium ThemeTheme :: TheThe AfricanAfrican ContinentalContinental FreeFree TradeTrade AreaArea (AfCFTA)(AfCFTA) andand thethe dynamicsdynamics ofof RegionalRegional IntegrationIntegration inin AfricaAfrica Organized by the Department of Integration and Cooperation for Development of the International Relations Institute of Cameroon (IRIC) Yaounde, 23, 24 and 25 November 2021 ; Venue: Amphitheatre 250, IRIC Call for Papers Rationale The issue of regional integration has been one of the major aspects of the African international relations science since the great decolonization period of the 1960s (Coulibaly, 2006; Gbaguidi, 2013; Gazibo, 2007; Mandjem, 2019). Largely driven by a mimetic spirit, backed by the ‘European model’ of regional integration (Lequesne and Smith, 1997; Vennesson and Sindjoun, 2000), this issue has materialized in a proliferation of inter-state groupings and free trade agreements whose forms and effects have often varied from one situation to another (Bekolo-Ebe, 2000; Adedeji, 2002; Hugon, 2003). Indeed, from the OAU (1963) to the African Union (2002), from the Lagos Plan of Action (1980) to NEPAD (2001) via the Abuja Treaty (1991), and considering the geographical arrangement of the various Regional Economic Communities (RECs), It can be noted that membership of these various integration projects in Africa has been the translation of a broader aspiration for continental integration, with the various pan-African movements for shared values, collective self-governance and economic independence as historical landmarks (Gana, 2014; Saurugger, 2010). This is the context for the launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in January 2021, which has its roots in the Lagos Plan of Action and the Abuja Treaty (1991), as well as its inclusion in the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
