Scholarship Offer – Associates Program

The African Gender Institute (AGI) has received funding from the Rockefeller Foundation to re-activate its Associates Program. The Program offers a limited number of African women the opportunity to be based at the University of Cape Town while completing a writing project of their own choice and design within the framework of gender equity and social transformation.

Candidates are required to obtain the "normination" of an authorative figure who is familiar with their work such as a Dean or Head of Department at a tertiary level institution, an employer or government official.
