The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA,

Pan-African research organisation headquartered in Dakar

Background

CODESRIA was established in 1973. Its aim is to promote, facilitate and disseminate research (within the

Prince Claus Awards
. CODESRIA has three governing organs, the General Assembly being the highest, followed by the Executive Committee (headed by Sam Moyo[9]) and the Scientific Committee (headed by Takyiwaa Manuh[10]), each with their own specific roles.

Contributions to Social Sciences

CODESRIA grants scholarships.

post-doctoral research,[12] organizes conferences and programs focusing on issues related to the social sciences and humanities,[13] publishes in various forms[14] (also see publications) and helps in setting up research training.[15] Within the CODESRIA environment different strains of thought can be discerned, namely an older, more Marxist oriented group and a younger, neo-liberal group. A third group is characterized by people active in women studies and civil movements.[16] Most of the programs offered to people are however dominated by men with the exception of the gender institute (2007 figures).[12]
