Publications

Books, Journal Papers, Research Reports

AFRIHERO Publications lists all journal papers, refereed conference papers, textbooks, and research monographs published by the principal researchers and consultants either as single or joint authors. The publications derive from the academic research conducted in the main research programmes. Only the titles are indicated since the full papers can be located in the appropriate journals and conference proceedings. We plan to abstract the papers sometime in the near future to enable readers to understand their remits.
