AJEAM-RAGEE is now listed on several online bibliographic databases AJEAM/RAGEE was established in January 1999 with Volume 1 Number 1 Online publication commenced with Volume 4 in 2002.

AJEAM/RAGÉE focuses exclusively on environmental issues in Africa, and aims to give Africa the opportunity to report on measures taken so far in caring for its environment as well as in institutionalizing formal environmental assessment and management principles and practices. It will make it possible to answer the question “Who is doing What, Where and with Whom?” in African environmental impact assessment and management. We generally do not publish articles that are not on African issues. We however consider articles deal with general methodological issues.
