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. Supported research covers six thematic areas – conflict resolution, energy, food security, health, migration, and climate change.
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.
