2020 Proposal Writing Worshop
The 2020 Proposal Writing Workshop is organized by KANAC, in collaboration with AHP. This year's Proposal Writing Workshop, which will be held in the serene environment of Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, provides ample opportunities for workshop participants to interact with international mentors and advisers from AHP.
The African Humanities Program (AHP) and Next Generation Social Sciences are grant awarding programs that offer financial awards ranging between $13,000 to $19,000 dollars to successful African scholars/researchers from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda. The aim of the award is to support researches in African Humanities and Social Sciences. Sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation of Hew York, these two awards are administered under the auspices of American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and Social Science Research COuncil (SSRN) respectively.
The 2020 Proposal Writing Workshop, organized by KANAC, aims at helping prospective applicants to prepare for international competitions such as the annual African Humanities Program and Next Generation Program competitions. Over the years, researches at KANAC show that, although many Nigerian scholars submit proposals to the African Humanities Program and Next Generation Programs, only very few have emerged successful. It was further revealed that many of these budding researchers were neither aware, nor conversant with some of the necessary techniques and requirements for writing successful proposals for international competitions. This informs the need for international writing workshops such as the current annual Proposal Writing Workshop.
To be eligible to participate in this workshop, please note the following:
- Registration payment fee of N10,000.
- Indicate if you have a ready proposal that you may wish to be reviewed by the International AHP Mentors and Advisers. However, you do not need to submit a proposal to be eligible to participate in the workshop.
