The Main Focus of Fundi Wa Afrika (Tailor or Builder in Kiswahili), IS the analysis of the state, defined as a multilayered entity from grassroot organizations to the leadership. The core of the state is the people who reside within its boundaries. Diverse ethnic groups and culture, history, and environment make up the state. Our approach includes historical, political, economic, and cultural analysis; it also looks at the impact of population control on the development of Africa. Fundi examines the nature and structure of the African state and tries to answer the following questions: How was the African state shaped? What values inform it, and what type of relationship between the rulers and the ruled does it favor?1KeywordsSupervisory BoardAfrican StateAfrican UnityRuling EliteAfrican CultureThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
