The United Nations Internship Program under the supervision of the UN’s Economic Commission for Africa is an avenue for African students to learn how to bring global solutions to the continent’s problems and take local solutions to the continent.

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and Africa Sports Unified (ASU) launched in April 2021 the Programme of Work on Sport and Trade to leverage the ability of sport to support the inclusive implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) by targeting youth, women and girls and persons with disabilities.

The program aims to explore and leverage the linkage between the AfCFTA and sport through knowledge generation and stakeholder engagement. The program will understand how building and growing an inclusive and sustainable sports ecosystem can promote regional cooperation, entrepreneurship, employability, innovation, manufacturing, and ultimately inclusive intra-African trade.

Several other scholarships are available in the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, and Canada that offer full scholarships and monthly allowances. Here are some suggestions you should check out;
