NAFSA is proud to have created the Global Dialogue Fellows who lead internationalization efforts at higher education institutions across sub-Saharan Africa. The program launched in 2014 and ended in 2019. Over a five year period, NAFSA provided support to 27 fellows representing 21 higher education institutions in 14 countries.
Over the term of the fellowship, Global Dialogue Fellows developed and worked to implement action plans to expand international capacity at their home institutions, including such projects as developing internationalization policies and strategies for their department and entire institution, establishing an international office, and establishing new institutional partnerships, creating new international programs and resources.
