Decolonising African Institutions

Special Issue

Decolonising African Institutions

Advancing multidisciplinary dialogue to help African institutions reimagine their systems, infrastructures, and partnerships through authentic African agency.

This Special Issue explores the structural, historical, epistemic, and operational dimensions of decolonisation within African institutions—spanning governance, industry, education, research, finance, religion, science, cultural and other sectors of African society. It invites critical scholarship that interrogates inherited colonial frameworks and proposes transformative models rooted in indigenous knowledge systems, equitable global collaboration and partnerships, and sustainable institutional autonomy. It also welcomes creative and imaginative theories, models and frameworks that can support the African continent in building a new civilisation that will benefit Africa and the world at large.
