[...] Epistemology and methodology: The varied approaches to apprehending social realities, the relationship between the apprehension and creation of realities and the distributional and policy consequences of various ways of approaching the process of knowledge reaction will be preoccupations of work undertaken by the initiatives. [...] The overall objective of the activities is to respond creatively, innovatively and in a timely manner to the training needs of African researchers, while encouraging innovation and experimentation in the development of new activities designed to address the constantly changing field of social science research on the continent and beyond. [...] The following considerations will guide the nature of activities and mode of implementation: • The need to decentralize certain activities with the aim of strengthening the role of regional institutions and universities in CODESRIA's activities and ease implementation of programmes; • The need to continue and enrich the focus of the 'CODESRIA Annual Humanities and Social Science Campus' as a platf.
