The aim of this project is to publish and disseminate to libraries and researchers in African universities and institutes recent SEPHIS books, newsletters and occasional monographs on original approaches and research results in the South. The  long-term objective is to reinforce the historical library resources of the countries of the South. The publications are distributed for free to at least 300 libraries in African universities and institutes. The dissemination is to contribute to the enlargement and development of an audience among researchers on the themes of the CODESRIA and SEPHIS activities.
