Australia Africa Fellowships (AAF) are a component of the Australian Scholarships for Africa program. Australia Africa Fellowships are for short term study, research and professional attachment programs in Australia delivered by Australian organisations.
The Australian Scholarships for Africa program is an initiative of the Australian Government that aims to promote sustainable development in Africa. The program includes postgraduate level Australian Development Scholarships and a limited number of short-term fellowships under the Australia Africa Fellowships Program.
Through the AAF Program, AusAID aims to increase the number of leaders and professionals capable of advancing regional reform, development and governance in Africa. It will increase exchange of knowledge and information within Africa and build common purpose and understanding between Australia and Africa through the development of effective networks.
Australia Africa Fellowships complement the longer term Australian Development Scholarship by providing opportunities to senior officials and mid-career professionals who cannot leave their positions for extended periods.
The AAF Program will provide the Australian Government with the ability to respond quickly to evolving priorities within the region, using fellowships to build expertise and leadership around these priorities.
Australia Africa Fellowships are available only in the nominated fields of extractive industries governance and project management (infrastructure development).
