Africa Initiative Exchange Program

Africa Initiative Exchange Program

The Africa Initiative Exchange Program supports short-term academic placements 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.  Supported research covers five thematic areas - conflict resolution, energy, food security, health, and migration, with special attention to the cross-cutting issue of climate change.

Participants have the opportunity to further their research through the utilization of on-the-ground resources and research materials, as well as to 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.
