The African Economic Scholars Program (AESP) is an initiative tailored towards building the next generation of policymakers in Africa by exposing them to avid tools and training. Our Scholars consist of highly skilled undergraduates who are either in their penultimate or final year studying towards a degree in Economics, political Science, International Relations and other related courses.
These individuals possess a broad range of abilities and have proven their excellence in academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and professional endeavors. The Scholars program will enable them to gain a thorough understanding of the place of policymakers and the importance of developing wholly.
The program will train the scholars for two months on research, policymaking, personal and professional development, and an opportunity to publish their capstone project. At the end of the training, outstanding scholars may be placed on a 2-month internship with our partner firms (Think Tanks) where they will gain practical insights on policy making and advocacy.
