The Institute of Peace, Leadership and Governance (IPLG) at Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe is launching a master’s programme in Human Rights, Peace and Development which will start in January 2015.
IPLG is one of the academic partners in RWI’s Regional Africa programme and the master’s programme has been developed with the support of the Raoul Wallenberg institute.
IPLG and Africa University have a Pan-African mandate with a vision to become a world class university for leadership development in Africa. RWI is funding scholarships for two students to attend the programme with the intention of broadening the programme’s student base and strengthening the programme to comprise students from more varied backgrounds.
In the granting of scholarships, priority will be given to persons with disabilities and persons who originate from conflicted countries.
