CODESRIA’s Research and Documentation Department has entertained and developed for several years a fruitful collaboration with SEPHIS (South-South Exchange Program for Research on the History of Development). The essential objective of this partnership is to facilitate a dynamic dialogue and cooperation between social sciences researchers and academics of Latin and Central America, South Asia, the Caribbean and Africa. The aim of this partnership is to promote research on history of development in Southern countries, and offer a more comparative and long-term approach of these societies. This cooperation also meshes neatly with CODESRIA’s effort to engage more fully with the international scientific community, that of the South in particular.
