establishment was driven by a desire to build an autonomous Pan-African scientific community capable of interpreting realities in Africa and contributing to scholarly, public and policy debates on African and global issues. Research and knowledge production are key to Africa’s transformation. The participation of Africans in these activities is indispensable for shaping narratives that will benefit Africa and its peoples.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">CODESRIA, therefore, is about building a strong and vibrant African social science and humanities research community. It serves to mobilise a greater understanding of the challenges facing Africa and the world in order to overcome these challenges. To do so, CODESRIA facilitates and supports social science and humanities research by scholars in Africa and the African diaspora across the world through a variety of programmes.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">CODESRIA is headquartered in Dakar, Senegal and is accredited with diplomatic status in Senegal, a status that grants various immunities to support effective intellectual engagement.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Two key documents formalise the Council’s establishment and identify its intellectual and institutional development and priorities: the CODESRIA Charter and the CODESRIA Strategic Plan.</p> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div data-vc-full-width="true" data-vc-full-width-init="false" class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1584496198395 vc_row-has-fill" style="background-color:#f8f7f4"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="qodef-row-grid-section-wrapper " ><div class="qodef-row-grid-section"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1574391506931" ><div class="white-text wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><h4 style="line-height: 0;text-align: left;font-family:Karla;font-weight:400;font-style:normal" class="vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading white-text" >THE CHARTER</h4></div></div></div><div class="white-text wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-9"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">The CODESRIA Charter is the core institutional document that formalises the establishment of the Council, outlines its objectives and functions, and expounds on its composition and <a style="color: #ffffff" href="https://community.codesria.org/">membership</a>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">Revised and adopted by the 14th General Assembly of CODESRIA held in Dakar, Senegal in 2015, it tasks the Council with the following eight objectives:</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">1) Develop the social sciences in Africa by mobilising the African social science community to undertake fundamental policy-oriented research from a perspective that is relevant to the demands of the African people.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">2) Encourage and support comparative research with a continental perspective expressing the specificity of development processes in Africa.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">3) Promote the publication and distribution of the research output of African scholars.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">4) Promote an African network for the dissemination of information in the social sciences.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">5) Promote and defend the principle of independent thought and research and the liberty of researchers.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">6) Encourage co-operation and collaboration between African universities and social science research, training and publishing organisations.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">7) Promote contacts and develop interaction between CODESRIA and similar international organisations.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">8) Promote balanced gender, generational, sub-regional, linguistic and disciplinary representation and participation in its activities.</span></p> <h5><span style="color: #ffffff"><strong>These objectives are to be achieved through:</strong></span></h5> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">a) Exchanging and disseminating information relating to research, training and publishing activities.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">b) Promoting translation into African languages, as the case may be, of important social science publications and documents.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">c) Reinforcing the research and training capacity of African universities, through the provision of fellowships and grants.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">d) Organising working groups, seminars and conferences.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">e) Promoting the exchange of academic staff between African universities and research institutes.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">f) Issuing and disseminating publications relevant to the activities of the Council.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">To view the full CODESRIA Charter <a style="color: #ffffff" href="https://codesria.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CODESRIA-CHARTER_June-2015.pdf">click here</a></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff">To ensure that it meets the current needs and priorities of the continental and diasporic community, the Council formulates a Strategic Plan every five years.
