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.
