InVision Africa

InVision Africa is a bold visual storytelling exhibition that brings Africa’s positive story telling; culture, research, innovation, and impact stories to life. The exhibition presents the work of student photographers from the Alliance for African Partnership, a consortium of African universities and Michigan State University in the US. The showcases projects emphasize positive research trends, innovation, and key developments in science, entrepreneurship, and arts and culture across Africa.

Through powerful images and narratives, the exhibition showcases how African-led solutions are transforming lives and shaping the continent’s future. It's not just an exhibition—it's a celebration of African brilliance, resilience, and imagination. The InVision Africa photo exhibition featured student photographers from across the AAP consortium will be shown in the MSU Union. 

Mandela Washington Fellowship Program

The Mandela Washington Fellowship, the flagship program of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), empowers young African leaders through academic coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, professional opportunities, and local community engagement. YALI was created in 2010 and supports young Africans as they spur economic growth and prosperity, strengthen democratic governance, and enhance peace and security across Africa.

University Administration Support Program

AAP hosted research managers and faculty leaders from African universities through IREX's University Administration Support Program, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

This program supports Fellows in strengthening their universities to be leading research institutions that impact their communities. Fellows participate in a three-part program that includes online learning, a shortplacement at a respected US university, and training in Washington, DC. Following the program, Fellows share and implement plans or reforms at their home universities. AAP has served as a placement since 2018, and has hosted Fellows virtually, in-person, or both.
