Formerly called | African Institute for Economic and Social Development (INADES) |
Centre for Research and Action for Peace (CERAP) (Centre de Recherche et d'Action pour la Paix), Ivory Coast, began as the African Institute for Economic and Social Development (INADES), with its early focus on agricultural training. In 2003, INADES expanded and changed its name to CERAP.
The CERAP was established in 1962 at the request of the Catholic bishops of West Africa to develop a center of Christian reflection on socio-economic development, with the cooperation of a similar center in France (CERAS),[2] and with the encouragement of political leaders in the Ivory Coast including President Félix Houphouët-Boigny.[citation needed]
