INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME FOR AFRICA

As part of the pilot stage of the UNDP-UNESCO Joint Project for Leadership 
Development, it has been determined that 4 Africans from the Diaspora should be 
identified and offered the opportunity to undertake 2-month internships within 
Ghana, Zambia, Sierra Leone and Senegal. 

These internships are intended to offer opportunities to young Africans in the 
Diaspora to enable them to build their confidence and give them practical
experience of working within development organizations in Africa. Feedback from 
these internships will provide some of the inputs to shape a Leadership 
programme that will offer both practical and technical training to build 
leadership skills and capacity for Africa's future leaders.

INTERNSHIP ORGANISATIONS:

Internships are available in UN and development agencies in Ghana, Senegal, 
Sierra Leone and Zambia from February to April 2005. 

Interns will be university graduates who have completed their university study 
and are available and flexible. Graduates would be required to contribute to 
the internship by paying for their flights to/from the country of placement and 
any required visas. Should funding be an issue, AFFORD is willing to assist 
selected candidates with advice on where to look for or how to raise the 
required funding.
