Call for Articles - The AfriFuture Research Bulletin

The AfriFuture Research and Development Trust (AfriFuture) is committed to undertaking and disseminating cutting-edge, rigorous and transformational social science research. It is particularly interested in research that focus on the socio-economic and political situation of communities in the global south and providing solutions to the associated problems. In line with this commitment, AfriFuture provides a platform for emerging and established scholars, policy makers, activists and other key stakeholders to freely express and publicise their opinions and experiences individually or collectively.

The AfriFuture Research Bulletin, published quarterly, is a new and exciting platform where contributions that engage and interrogate the contemporary social, economic, and political questions in the global south are invited. Accordingly, the Bulletin is a channel for disseminating nuanced, authoritative, and up-to-date research, along with laying a foundation for future research.
