Description:: Although studies in African integration have been mostly in the political and economic domains (Hazzlewood, 1977), it has been argued that social integration is the pre-condition for either political or economic integration in Africa (Nye, 1966). This paper focuses on the poorly-explored concept of social integration by analysing the continent's efforts in ensuring integration through the mass media. It examines the difficulties encountered in realising such objectives and offers some suggestions for policy-makers.

Description:: The purpose of this paper is to rank the social security systems in 45 African countries using a comparative evaluation methodology that enables an assessment to be made of a country's statutory social security intention. The conclusion drawn is that the spread of African social security system design standards are comparable to those of Latin American countries, although the poorest designed African systems arc somewhat superior to their Latin American counterpart. The very best designed African social security systems arc in North Africa: Tunisia (with its world-class family support program), Algeria and Libya, although Mauritius also stands out.
