Harvard Health Scientists To Receive Part of $150 million To Research More On Workings Of Human Brain-Expressgist.blogspot.com
Following the successful launch and subsequent distribution of the maiden edition of our biennial journal of development, Young African Leaders Journal of Development (YALJOD), we hereby invite interested Africans to submit research articles for publication in the second edition of YALJOD.
Application Deadline: 30th March 2018
About the Award: The YALJOD is Africa’s first youth-led pan-African journal of development, and it is aimed at fostering the collective progress and development of the African people. The journal also provides the blueprint for our development mission as well as many other organisations.
The journal was established in 2015 to host scholarly analysis and competing viewpoints about the development of Africa. Our motive for establishing this historic journal is to garner the ideas of young Africans as pertaining the development of the continent. We want to know what young people are thinking, and how we can harness their potentials for the development of Africa and the realisation of both the SDGs and the Agenda-2063 vision.
YALJOD’s multidisciplinary approach makes it more formidable. It accepts papers from varied disciplinary areas – including Social Sciences, Physical Sciences and Humanities –that show direct relevance to the development of Africa. In this sense, it publishes researches understood as highlighting the social, political, cultural and technological processes of positive change in the continent. The specially targeted audience of the journal are the continent’s leadership operators, civil societies and NGOs, development academics, researchers and youth leaders.
