Students for Development
– 2006 internships and team projects
In 2006, Students for Development funded 102 student internships and 10 team projects, each focused on a particular aspect of good governance in developing countries. Participating students worked alongside their Southern partners to find innovative solutions to pressing governance challenges. The brochure, the postcards and the case studies below provide an overview of their personal experiences and the lessons they learned about governance.
