About the Center

The African Presidential Archives and Research Center (APARC) at Boston University is an unprecedented and unique approach to studying democratization and free market reform in Africa. Through a residency program for former democratically elected African leaders and access to their papers, and through access to present democratically elected leaders, the Center provides a forum for them to share and a venue for others to benefit from their insights and expertise. The Center offers an exceptional opportunity to see the present phase of Africa's development through the eyes of the "architects of that change." The Center is also intended to serve as a setting for policy debates and deliberations on democratization and free market reform in Africa.
