Box 30552 B.P. 30552 NAIROBI NAIROBI KENYA KENYA JUNE 1989 JUIN 1989 Second Edition Deuxième Edition doc. 1951b flA1 ()3 -2- FOREWORD The publication and distribution of the second edition of this directory is a fulfilment of a long-term plan to link up', through the auspices of UNEP, the various tertiary level institutions in the Africa region engaged in environmental training and research. This link-up is an active process intended to enrich each other's programmes both at the level of the individual lecturer and/or research worker and the institutions. Further, the directory is a record of activities in environmental training and research and another step in a series of activities to establish a network of tertiary level institutions with active environmental training programmes in the region. To be effective, a network must be well coordinated. This coordination role will be fulfilled by a Regional Coordination Unit linked to Centres of Excellence in the sub-regions and to national member institutions. As usual, UNEP will play a catalytic role in activating the network, through the Regional Co-ordination Unit and the Centres of Excellence. But the responsibility of keeping the network alive and functioning rests with its members who will be assured of UNEP's support. It is well-known that Africa is facing a very serious environmental crisis which calls for concerted action by all her people and institutions. Co-ordinated environmenta1,10aining and research, focused on priority areas, will go a long way to,-rhabilitate and conserve the environment, restore and improve the well-being of her people. I appeal to all individual scientists and tertiary institutions in Africa to rise to the challenge of the African Crisis by orienting their training and research towards a holistic treatment of the environment so as to ensure its rehabilitation and conservation for sustained development. The accent should be put on conservation and development of the region's natural resources for the benefit of all. Dr. Maxime Ferrari Director Regional Office for Africa UNEP June 1989 Produced under EETU/ROA Project No. FP/3102-87-05(2732) - 3 - PREFACE La publication et la diffusion de la deuxième edition de ce repertoire sont un des moyens de concrétiser un plan a long terme consistant a forger, sous les auspices du PNUE, des liens entre les différerrtsétablissements de recherches et de formation supérieure en matlêre d'environnement de la region d'Afrique qul travaillent dans le domaine de la recherche et de la formation en sciences de l'environnement. Ii s'agit d'un processus dynamique visant I enrichir les programmes de chacun, aussi bien au niveau des enseignants et des chercheurs qu'I celui des établissements. Le repertoire est aussi une recapitulation des activités menées en matiIre de recherche et de formation aux sciences de l'environnement et marque une étape de plus dans la série des actions destinées I créer un réseau d'établissements off rant des programmes de formation supérieure en matiêre d'environnement. Pour être bien coordonné, ce role de coordination sera la tkhe d'une Unite Régionale de coordination liée aux Centres d'Excellence des sous-régions et aux établissements nationaux membres du réseau. Le PNUE jouera un rOle de catalyse en dynamisant le réseau par l'intermédiaire de l'unité régionale de coordination et des Centres d'excellence. Mais la responsabilité de maintenir le réseau vivant et de le faire fonctionner incombe I ses membres qui seront assures du soutien du PNUE. L'Afrique, nousLe savons, doit faire face a une grave crise de 1'environnement qui requiert l'action concertée de tous ses peuples et institutions. Une recherche et une formation en matière d'environnement bien coordonnées, mettant l'accent sur les domaines prioritaires, feront beaucoup pour la mise en état et la conservation de l'environnement, la restauration et l'amélioration du bien-étre des populations. Je demande donc I tous les scientifiques et I tous les établissements d'enseignement supérieur et de recherche d'Afrique de répondre au défi que pose la crise africaine en adoptant, dans le domaine de la recherche et de la formation en matière d'environnement, une approche holistique de maniIre I permettre sa restauration et sa conservation dans la perspective d'un développement continu. L'accent doit étre mis sur la conservation et la mise en valeur des ressources naturelles de la region pour le bénéf ice de tous.

  • 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.

While the research effort is geared to the precise objective of contributing to the reduction of hunger and malnutrition, the factors involved are many and wide-ranging, requiring analysis of underlying processes and extending beyond a narrowly defined food sector. The lnstitute's research program reflects worldwide collaboration with governments and private and public institutions interested in increasing food production and improving the equity of its distribuiion. Research results are disseminated to policy­ makers, opinion formers, administrators, policy analysts, researchers, and others concerned with national and international food and agricultural policy. 161 IFPRI is a research center of the Consultative Group on lnterna- ~~ tional Agricultural Research and receives support from the Arab ~~ Fund for Economic and Social Development, Argentina, the Asia:i Development Bar.k, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, the European Commission, the Ford Foundation, France, the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), the German Federal Min­ istr; for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), India, the Inter­ American Deveiopment Bank, the lntern~tional Development Research Centre (Canada), ihe International Fund for Agricultural Development, Ire­ land, Jap.an, the Land and Agriculture Policy Centre (South Africa), Mozam­ bique, the Netherlands, Norway, the Philippines, the Rockefeller Founda­ tion, the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (Australia).

    Rethinking Higher Education Governance in Ghana This is a research report of the CODESRIA: Higher Education Leadership Programme (HELP) Launched in 2011, with funding support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY), the HELP program sought to support research networks, policy forums and publications to document and provide an understanding of transformations underway with regard to the governance and leadership of higher education institutions in Africa. In initiating the program, CODESRIA was motivated by the desire to contribute to the knowledge base and initiate policy debates that would deepen the reforms, as leadership and governance are central to ensuring the quality and relevance of higher education in the continent. CODESRIA Working Paper Series The CODESRIA Working Paper Series disseminates outputs from CODESRIA’s research activities. Working papers constitute work in progress. They provide insights into the breadth and depth of work undertaken by the Council’s various programmes and research networks.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract That Most Perfidious Institution is a study of Africans - slaves and slave owners - and their central roles in both the expansion of slavery in the early nineteenth century and attempts to reform servile relationships in the late nineteenth century. The pivotal place of Africans can be seen in the interaction between indigenous slave-owning elites (aristocrats and urban Euro-African merchants), local European administrators, and slaves themselves. My approach to this problematic is both chronologically and geographically comparative. The central comparison between Senegal and the Gold Coast contrasts the varying impact of colonial policies, integration into the trans-Atlantic economy; and, more importantly, the continuity of indigenous institutions and the transformative agency of indigenous actors.
