We note with sadness the passing of Patrick Chabal, a specialist in Lusophone Africa who made an outstanding contribution to the field of African Studies. AEGIS – African Studies in Europe writes that he “made an impact on the field that most can only dream of” and that “the fact that AEGIS is such a vibrant community today owes a great deal to [his] inspired vision”.
The collection contains constitutions, as well as amendments and constitutional bills. The documents are provided in their original language, and, if available, in their English translation. The Database of the Constitutions of Sub-Saharan Africa/ was set up with support of the German Foundation for Peace Research (Deutsche Stiftung Friedensforschung) for the research project “Traditional Institutions in sub-Saharan Africa: Endangering or Promoting Stable Domestic Peace?” at the University of
Konstanz.
We provide a collection of web links to online resources and publicly available PDF-files for individual use. At present, several
constitutional documents are still missing from the database, but we continue working to complete the constitutional chronology for all countries. We therefore encourage you to share any online resource Please go to

to access the databases or documents so far missing from the database.
