We are pleased to announce the call for submissions from academics, researchers, and development practitioners in relation to the African Journal of Inclusive Societies Volume 4. In this volume we will be looking at Africa’s Quest for Inclusion Trends and Patterns. This volume will explore how the agenda of inclusion is being pursued and embodied across the continent. In our work since 2018 we have noted that inclusion in its varying forms seeks to give people of all colors, creeds, economic status, genders, and nationalities equal opportunities to lead dignified lives.
For Africa to meet its Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2063 goals, inclusion is a necessity. We conceptualized this volume on the ethos that real development cannot take place in the confines of discrimination intolerance or inequality. The volume is making calls to contributors to submit papers looking at the quest for inclusion around.
- Markets focusing on land, housing, labor and credit.
- Services focusing on the important role of social welfare, electricity, information, transport, education, water and health.
- Spaces focusing on the political, social, physical, and cultural spaces on the continent.
This volume provides a platform for presenting discussions around the progress that Africa has made to promote inclusion in both the common and uncommon ‘spaces’ in relation to the above. We hope that through this volume we can better comprehend the shape and form of inclusion/exclusion and how it is expressed in our communities. We want to understand where gaps of inclusion currently lie. And what it will take to move African countries forward.
