The Africa Knowledge Networks Forum (AKNF) 2001/ African Development Forum (ADF) 2001 technical advisory committee meeting : a program for the advancement of African economics

Abstract

This is a proposal for the formation of a US-Africa Science Foundation. This foundation will support basic research among scholars based in African universities and research institutions, on the one hand, and scholars based in the US, and particularly the African Diaspora community, on the other. The primary goal will be to foster collaborative links between the two groups. For the African based researchers, the principal benefit will be to help further internationalize (or globalize) their activities and to give such researchers access to the contacts and experiences of their US based colleagues.
