    About the Council for the Development of Social Science Research
    The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa(CODESRIA) was established in 1973 as an independent pan-African research organization primarily focusing on social sciences research in Africa. CODESRIA’s mission requires the emergence of a pan-African community of researchers, the protection of their intellectual freedom and autonomy in performing their duties and the elimination of barriers regarding language, discipline, region, gender and generation. To assist with research dissemination, CODICE, the CODESRIA Documentation and Information Centre, was set up in 1983. Its main objective is to provide documentary support for CODESRIA activities and for researchers across Africa who are involved in its programs.
