Promoting and boosting the reappropriation of local knowledge could therefore be seen as a strategic response to the challenges thereof by offering locally rooted alternatives and innovations adapted to specific realities.\r\n\r\nThis issue seeks to open an interdisciplinary and comparative scientific debate on the complex bond between local knowledge systems, territorial dynamics and sustainability in African societies. It aims to move beyond normative and extractive approaches and dive into a cognitive decolonisation process, the indigenisation of practices and methodological innovations, in order to determine how local knowledge contribute to resilience, security, sustainable development and territorial sovereignty.\r\n\r\nIt sheds light on the relevance of revisiting modes of knowledge production and validation, highlighting epistemological tensions between knowledge inherited from colonisation and local knowledge within a dialectic of decolonisation and cognitive reappropriation (Santos 2014). It features Valentin\u2011Yves Mudimbe\u2019s (1988) work on the conditions of possibility for an autonomous African knowledge and Achille Mbembe\u2019s (2000; 2016) analyses of subjectivity and territoriality in postcolonial contexts.\r\n\r\nParticular stress will be laid on methodological and epistemic innovations emerging from field research: participatory surveys, inclusive approaches and co\u2011construction of knowledge. Even though these approaches are deemed innovative, they must be critically examined, at least in terms of their shortcomings in order to avoid potential pitfalls like <em>folklorisation<\/em> or instrumentalisation of endogenous knowledge.\r\n\r\nThe aim of this issue is to provide a rigorous and critical analysis of the interactions between endogenous knowledge, sustainability and territories through four main axes.\r\n<h2><strong>Main themes<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Local epistemologies and the reconfiguration of knowledge<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nLocal epistemology is based on the recognition of knowledge systems specific to African societies that have, for a long time, been marginalised by dominant western paradigms and discourses. Far from being static or archaic, these patterns are dynamic, hybrid and are often linked to modern systems, thus producing composite forms of knowledge adapted to local realities. This research area will analyse processes of production, transmission and transformation of these patterns, as well as their potential to reorient scientific research, development policies and technological innovation.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Territories, local practices and socio\u2011ecological resilience<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAfrican territories are living laboratories of local practices that support socio\u2011ecological resilience. This resilience is reflected in communities\u2019 ability to preserve livelihoods despite climatic shocks, land pressures and rapid socio\u2011economic change. This research area will examine how local knowledge shapes practices such as agroforestry, community-based water resource management and traditional soil conservation techniques. It will also examine local governance mechanisms\u2014 collective participation, customary norms, land tenure arrangements \u2014 that determine access to and regulation of resources.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Public policies, local innovation and sustainability<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIntegrating endogenous knowledge into public policies is a strategic issue for sustainability in Africa. Critical analysis of existing mechanisms often reveals a gap between stated intentions and actual practices, this stems from tensions between State\u2019s regulation and customary management practices, or the difficulty of promoting local knowledge in standardised bureaucratic systems. This research area will examine the conditions for territorial appropriation of policies, highlighting innovative experiences such as participatory planning, multi\u2011stakeholder partnerships and financing of agroecological technologies adapted to local contexts.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Local knowledge, multidimensional security and territorial autonomy<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe concept of Territory is not limited to geographic borders; it is also, according to Mbeng Dang and Ligue Engamba\u2019s (2023), a social, cultural and symbolic space where local knowledge is embedded. That is the reason why, according to Zoyem and Mbih (2021), it is critical to analyse local strategies for resilience and tension management, particularly in areas weakened by conflicts. This research area will address the broader concept of security (food, environmental, land, health, digital) and systems that could be used to prevent communities from exposure and vulnerability, grounded in empirical observations. These dynamics pave the way for reflection on territorial autonomy and the sustainability of endogenous security mechanisms.\r\n<h2><strong>VARIA<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nTo preserve scientific openness and diversity of approaches, the issue will include contributions in a Varia section for suggestions that may be aligned with the subject, but do not directly fall under the defined areas of study. Proposed articles may therefore:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Explore crosscutting or emerging themes related to local knowledge, sustainability or territorial dynamics;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Present original case studies, critical analyses or methodological innovations that enrich the debate;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Address related topics such as migration, languages and cultural practices, African spirituality, artistic expressions or forms of cultural resistance, provided they shed light on issues of sustainability and territoriality;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Offer analyses in political science or international relations, for example on cognitive sovereignty, local languages recognition policies, or regional cooperation around endogenous knowledge.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThis section aims to foster inclusivity and plurality of voices while stimulating intellectual innovation.
