Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa

The Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa (CAFA) was an organisation set up in light of the struggles in the universities consequent to the implementation of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP).

The organisation was founded by Silvia Federici and George Caffentzis in the 1980s.[1] They took on the role of coordinators and produced their first newsletter in spring 1991. and were later joined by Ousseina Alidou, Alamin Mazrui, Andrew Nash and Nigel Gibson.

CAFA was involved in the publication of A Thousand Flowers which chronicles this struggle through the 1980s and 1990s.[2]
