From 16 to 18 March 2023, Dr Steve Ndinga-Koumba-Binza attended a conference called “Colloque International de Linguistique de Dakar” (CILDak). The conference was held in Dakar, Senegal, at the Cheikh Anta Diop University. During the CILDak, he presented a paper on the historico-dialectological analysis of African languages. The paper will be submitted for publication in the proceedings of the conference. Dr Ndinga-Koumba-Binza chaired the third keynote address session of the conference. He also maintained a stall throughout the conference for the exhibition of CASAS books. Finally, he used his visit in Dakar to make contact with Trust Africa, a Dakar-based, donor-funding organization that used to fund CASAS in the past. Dr Ndinga-Koumba-Binza also had the opportunity to meet Prof. Fary Silate Ka, one of the CASAS long-standing Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) members at the CILDAK conference.
