 llography is a science at the crossroads of physics \, chemistry \, geolog
 y\, biology and material science .This  involves therefore many researcher
 s from all disciplines and then allows a general scientific life and netwo
 rk . Crystallography  is involved in mining\,  material \,chemical \, phar
 maceutical  industries. X-ray Crystallography is an important user of SR .
 Then it is very important to develop this science in sub-Saharan Africa. I
 n 2014\, for the International Year of Crystallography\, the International
  Union of Crystallography (IUCR\, www.iucr.org \, Profs G. Desiraju and C.
  Lecomte) together with UNESCO  ( Prof Nalecz \, Dr JP Ngome) have started
  an ambitious program called IUCR-UNESCO Africa Initiative to promote crys
 tallography teaching and research. This talk will introduce the Initiative
