10/18/2020

The Late Dr. James Jesse
It is with such extreme shock and sadness that we at AGEN have learned of the passing away of Dr. James Jesse. AGEN mourns the passing of Dr. James Jesse. According to family sources, Dr. Jesse suddenly passed away yesterday on 17th October, 2020. AGEN shares deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.

The Late Dr. James Jesse played an instrumental role in the establishment of AGEN. AGEN is the product of the first Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) project in Tanzania. Dr. Jesse and the rest of the team made use of the first call by the government of the United States of America that sought innovative ideas from the alumni of the US-sponsored programs. The fund was launched on February 16, 2011. On May 23, the Tanzanian project was announced as one of the 38 winners of the AEIF and received an award of $25,000; this award was used to raise more than $300,000 grassroots resources and impacted the lives of 400 rural entrepreneurs and over 120 scholars and activists from across the globe.He is the one who proposed Affirmative action on the Gender Equality Network (AGEN) to be the name of the NGO to sustain the project. The founders unanimously accepted the name because of their dedication towards addressing existing gender inequalities. Further, the efforts of the late Dr. James Jesse resulted in the registration of AGEN. Dr. Jesse was a renowned Tanzanian lawyer with expertise in International and Human Rights Law.

The contribution of Dr. James Jesse to grassroots efforts is internationally recognized. He was one of the 2012 awardees of the internationally recognized TIAW World of Difference 100 Award as the Champions of Women’s Economic Empowerment Category. TIAW recognizes extraordinary women and men from around the world each year whose efforts have advanced the economic empowerment of women locally, regionally or worldwide. Dr. James was awarded the prize because of his efforts through his participation in AGEN. AGEN will surely miss Dr. James Jesse.

Dear colleagues,
I and friends have put together a thematic stream for papers to be presented at ASAUK in 2018. I encourage you to submit a paper to our stream. Details can be accessed below:
Challenges and Survival Strategies within the Neoliberal Context for a Civilized Africa
This thematic stream looks for articles from anywhere in Africa, which focus on challenges, responses and survival strategies of African grassroots communities as they negotiate for their survival within the neoliberal context. Papers presenting evidences of creation of new civilizations in Africa at whatever stage are also welcome.
