Geographical Focus  
Notes The French Institute for Research in Africa is a regional research institute working in Eastern Africa, under the auspices of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It offers a research platform run by a team of about ten persons, whose role is to support work and exchange of information in social sciences and humanities. IFRA therefore contributes in promoting various scientific and scholarly works in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) by favoring a multi-disciplinary approach. [ Retrieved on 14 DEC 2007 ]
