Policy Notes

Publications for download

NAI Policy Notes is a series of short briefs on policy issues relevant to Africa today. Aimed at professionals working within aid agencies, ministries of foreign affairs, NGOs and the media, these reports aim to inform public debate and to generate input into the sphere of policymaking. The writers are researchers and scholars engaged in African issues and are drawn from several disciplines. Most have an institutional connection to the Nordic Africa Institute or its research networks. The reports are internally endorsed and externally reviewed. To ensure the accuracy and relevance of the reports, the Nordic Africa Institute welcomes input and suggestions from readers, particularly policy-makers. Each Policy Note has a unique ISBN to facilitate citation. Available online in the DiVA archive and listed below.
