The Foundation’s 10-week program, launched in 2011, is designed to improve the competitiveness of Africa’s high-growth private sector businesses while introducing some of the world’s brightest young business talent to executive suites across Africa. The initiative is aimed at solving business problems, not simply awarding grants.

The African Markets Internship Programme (AMIP) provides strategic short-term opportunities for business students from Africa’s top business schools, as well as for students and graduates from top-tier business schools in Europe and the United States. AMIP associates are placed in fast-growing African-owned enterprises with strong management teams. AMIP operates throughout Africa with 2011 associates placed in businesses in Accra, Lagos and Nairobi. In 2012, Dakar and Kigali will be added as host cities as well as locations in Central and Southern Africa.
