About the Journal

Ochendo: An African Journal of Innovative Studies (ISSN: 26814-0788 (Print) 2814-077X (e)) is a journal published by the Association for the Promotion of African Studies. OAAJIS is purely dedicated to the publication of original academic papers that border on innovative studies. Results of research are presented as fresh theories, hypotheses, and analyses of new ideas or discoveries. Extensions of existing theories and review of books of this nature are also covered within the standard range of this journal.

Generally, Editors should be able to reach a decision including recommending corrections if any or acceptance of any paper within two weeks of receipt which is communicated to the author subsequently.
