Africa Initiative Exchange Program

The Africa Initiative exchange program supports short-term academic placements through grants for Africans and Canadians undertaking research on Africa. The program is building capacity by giving bright, highly-motivated students and scholars an opportunity to discover and impart new learning in a cross-cultural experience.

Participants have the opportunity to further their research through the utilization of on-the-ground resources and research materials, as well as develop international networks with fellow researchers and practitioners conducting work in a relevant field of study. Research results are presented and disseminated through a variety of public channels. Visit the Student Profiles page to learn more about this dynamic group of individuals.

Please note that due to ongoing changes within the Africa Initiative program, exchange grants will not be offered for the 2013-14 academic year.
