African scholarship and leadership are critical for understanding the pros and cons of humanitarian and development aid on the continent, yet aid debates still too often take place as though they do not exist. We are committed to the kind of inclusive and egalitarian partnerships that we believe should characterize humanitarian, academic, and policy relationships of all kinds. With this in mind, the CIHA Blog editorial team is trans-continental, currently based at six research institutions: l’Université Gaston Berger (Senegal), University of Ghana-Legon (Ghana), University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), University of California – Irvine (USA), University of Rochester (USA), and most recently, Hekima Institute of Peace Studies and International Relations (HIPSIR) in Nairobi, Kenya.
Our team of Co-Editors (whose bios you can find here) work together with Luce Graduate Fellows to promote the work of the Blog. The CIHA Blog team would like to welcome and introduce our newest Luce Graduate Fellows from the Hekima Institute of Peace Studies and International Studies (HIPSIR): Acho Gerald Anji, Huguette Kazeneza, Gerald Obini, and Cyprian Omoding. These fellows will be supporting Father Dr. Toussaint Kafarhire Murhula based out of Nairobi. Please find their full bios below. We are grateful for the expertise that the team at Hekima brings to the Blog and look forward to sharing more from them in the coming weeks and months.
