Call For Papers

Global poverty is high on the African development agenda, as most of the global poor reside in Africa. Given the complexity and multi-dimensionality of poverty, this conference invites participants from disciplines across the various areas of academia to share knowledge and engage in constructive problem-solving. The conference is also the starting point for further interdisciplinary research to effectively examine features, causes, methods, solutions, policies, and evaluations of this key challenge in the area.
