interests and enthusiasm help shape the programs and priorities of the center.

advantage of the services and scholarly resources of the center. WARC affiliated
scholars have preferential access to center facilities, including the WARC library,
shared office space (as available).
Researchers may request institutional
affiliation with WARC by submitting a letter of request, along with the following
information, to the WARC Director:

The affiliation fees per semester are listed below. (Please note that WARA members receive discounted rates for affiliation.) You do not need to pay the full affiliation fee up front; however, a non-refundable $45 application processing fee must be paid before we can process your application. This $45 will then be applied to your regular affiliation fee.
To complete your affiliation process, send your materials to WARC in electronic format as per the instructions.Your application processing fee of $45 can be sent directly to WARA. Once your application fee has been received and your application processed (and accepted), a letter signed by the WARC Director will be sent to you in pdf format.
An affiliation card will be issued upon arrival at WARC and after payment of the full affiliation fee, either to WARA or to WARC, has been received. For affiliated scholars who prefer to complete their payment at WARC, please note that we accept payments only in CFA.
West African scholars/researchers

Researchers, faculty, and students who are based
at or on the payroll of an African institution. This does NOT include US or European
nationals who are on teaching programs (e.g., Fulbright) or sabbatical at West
African universities.
Western/Northern scholars/researchers ($125 US/62,500 CFA)*
Researchers
and students who are established at/affiliated with institutions based in the
west/north (e.g., US or European universities, international organizations such

or sabbatical at a West African university.
