Title: | United we stand, and divided we fall: A call to action for the decolonisation of social work in Africa | Authors: | Wilberforce Kurevakwesu School of Social Work, Midlands State University, Corner Grant and Chinhoyi Street, Harare 263, Zimbabwe. |

Issue Date: | 30-Aug-2023 | Publisher: | SAGE Publications | Abstract: | In this article, I discuss the need for African social workers to unite if the decolonisation of the social work profession is to be successful. This unity can come through the creation of a strong regional association of social work, which can then promote research, social work regulation and the creation of national associations of social work across Africa – and these can provide the necessary structures for collective action. Such a move will promote unity of purpose and provide a basis for decolonisation. For as long as we are divided, we will continue to lose relevance and recognition. | URI: | https://cris.library.msu.ac.zw//handle/11408/5843 |
