Abstract

AIMS AND SCOPE
The aim and thrust of IAJIKS is to bring together scholars and thinkers to promote, analyse, critique and preserve Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS). The journal is devoted to the promotion of research into and scholarship on IKS. Given the growing enthusiasm for the African Renaissance, it cannot be long before attention turns to IKS to contribute towards the development of Africa and the world.
The journal was founded as an international academic forum to exchange ideas and theories surrounding IKS. It creates a forum for African scholars, analysts and activists in IKS to participate on an equal footing with their contemporaries worldwide in debates, exchange of ideas and the creation and documentation of knowledge. It also seeks to promote scholarly understanding of changes and developments in IKS.
