Strategies Against Poverty: Designs from the North and Alternatives from the South
Organized by the CLACSO-CROP programme with the collaboration of the CLACSO South-South Program, the South-South Exchange Programme for Research on the History of Development (SEPHIS), and the University of Cape Town.
The CLACSO-CROP Programme organized the seminar in cooperation with
the South-South Programme of CLACSO, the University of Cape Town, and
the South-South Exchange Programme for Research on the History of Development (SEPHIS). This was the first seminar of the Programme to take place
in an African country.
There were 15 presentations by researchers from 13 countries in Africa, Asia
and Latin America and the Caribbean, who discussed and debated for
three days. The event was described by those present as an experience that
was both uncommon and fruitful for the interchanges between colleagues
researching similar themes in different continents. By agreement between
the organizing institutions, there was designated an Editorial Committee
composed of specialists from Latin America and Africa, in order to work on
a compilation of the work presented and publish a book of the results of the
events.
