After several years of engaging with the continent, Ryan and the The Ivy Africa Institute have developed a network of partnerships across Africa to facilitate opportunities for students. These include members of the executive office, government ministries and branches, leaders in the private sector, for-profit/private, fellow non-profits, and educational institutions (such as universities and university departments/programs).
Together, each partner believes that education and the cultivation of a more informed generation on Africa is crucial to long-term ties between the West and Africa. We aim to give students the very best understanding of politics and business on the continent and it is our partners that make that possible every day. IAI aims to facilitate active engagement with stakeholders operating in Africa, and to enable students to have real experience on the continent, offering a unique opportunity through which students can engage with African institutions and develop long-term and mutually beneficial ties to the continent.
If you want to be involved in research, volunteering, or building connections, please let us know. We are excited to help interested students bridge the knowledge and cultural divide that stops so many from seeing the value of engaging in Africa.
