Africa Initiative for Governance (AIG) 2021-2022 Scholarships For Studies At Oxford University, UK

To achieve their objectives, the AIG will fund scholarships for outstanding Nigerians and Ghanaians to undertake an intensive post-graduate world-class training in governance and public policy.

We have entered into a partnership with the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government to provide this training. Every year since 2017 , five scholarships are awarded to Nigerian and Ghanaian candidates to attend the Blavatnik School to pursue a Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree.

Upon graduation, AIG scholars will be expected to return home and apply their learning experience as change agents in their home country’s public sector.
