Fahamu publications provide a unique source of policy analysis from
within Africa, written in an accessible style and from a variety of
viewpoints. They are an important part of our mission to publish news
and information and stimulate debate, discussion and analysis on human
rights and social justice in Africa by Africans.
Most of our books are drawn from articles originally published in our weekly electronic newsletter Pambazuka News. They are published in this format in order to reach an audience that finds it easier to access material on the printed page.
Fahamu produces a series of special reports, some of which are published in Pambazuka News, and some of which are made available as separate downloadable documents.
Fahamu also produces CDROMs for people wishing to develop their skills in particular areas useful
for not-for-profit organisations. They can be used by individuals
working on their own, with groups in a training workshop and as a
reference tool.
China’s global expansion is much talked about, but usually from the
viewpoint of the West. This unique collection of essays, written by
scholars and activists from China and the global South, provides
diverse views on the challenges faced by Africa, Latin America and Asia
as a result of China’s rise as a significant global economic power.
Chinese aid, trade and investments – driven by the needs of its own
economy – present both threats and opportunities for the South,
requiring a nuanced analysis that goes beyond simplistic caricatures of
‘good’ and ‘evil’.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the
African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights. This is a moment for

limitations of the commission. The purpose of this book, which
accompanies a special issue of the award-winning electronic newsletter
Pambazuka News, is not only to mark the 20th anniversary, but also to
popularise understanding of the work of the commission.
Proposals that make a difference was developed to help not-for-profit organisations to write effective grant proposals.
