Featuring high-quality, original research from leading academics and researchers, Africa Now – published in association with the internationally respected Nordic Africa Institute – addresses the big issues confronting Africa today.

Based in Uppsala, Sweden, the Institute is dedicated to providing timely, critical and alternative research and analysis of Africa and to co-operation with African researchers. As a hub and a meeting place for a growing field of research and analysis the Institute strives to put knowledge of African issues within reach for scholars, policy makers, politicians, media, students and the general public.
