Call for Grant for the Coordination of a Special Issue of the East African Review

IFRA-Nairobi is offering a grant of €800 for the submission and coordination of a special issue of the East African Review to be published in 2026. The topic of the issue must be in line with IFRA-Nairobi’s themes. The coordinator of the issue must propose a call for papers, a publication schedule, identify reviewers, manage the double-blind peer review process, and submit the articles to the journal’s editorial board. The coordinator commits to keeping IFRA informed of the progress of the issue. The journal’s editorial committee makes the final decision on publication.

Applications may be submitted in English or French and must include a call for papers with:

  • Title of the special issue
  • Abstract (200 words)
  • Argument/rationale (1,500 to 2,000 words), including bibliography

Since 1996, The East African Review (Les Cahiers d’Afrique de l’Est) publishes articles in English and French. The studies published fall in various disciplinary fields of the Human and Social Sciences, notably Sociology, Geography, History, Anthropology, Urbanism and Political Science. The East African Review covers several countries of the Great East Africa region, i.e. Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Eastern Congo-DRC, Tanzania and Burundi. IFRA has a permanent call for special issue as well as for its Varia numbers. The journal is freely accessible and hosted on the OpenEdition portal, which hosts more than 450 online publications. OpenEdition is a French public initiative platform whose main mission is to promote open access electronic publishing.

Deadline for submission is November 30, 2025. Applications are to be sent to info@ifra-nairobi.net
