IIJD - News and Publications THE AFRICAN PROSPECT

		The African Prospect is a journal published by the International Institute for Justice and Development Inc. (IIJD) designed to foster increased discussion of the underlying causes of poverty, and enhance the debate of possible solutions. Founded in October of 2006, The African Prospect was initiated by the 2006 International Conference on the State of Affairs in Africa held in Boston, MA on October 26-28th 2006.

		The African Prospect is committed to fostering diverse academic dialogue that draws on original research and first hand experience. To that end, in addition to scholarly work completed by academics and professionals, we encourage the contribution of both graduate and undergraduate work. A high level of diversity in contributions, we believe, is vital to the search for fresh and innovative solutions to the underlying causes of poverty in Africa and the challenges our world faces.
