The Students for Development blog provides a venue for international development interns to share ideas, opinions, thoughts, images and videos of the successes and challenges of their work and stay abroad. |

Launched in 2005, the Students for Development (SFD) program supports senior-level university students (third and fourth-year undergraduates through to PhD students) to participate in internships for a minimum of three months in partner developing countries.
The objectives of the 2009-2010 program are: 1) to increase collaboration between Canadian universities and developing country partners in order to build capacity in governance, health and the environmental sector; 2) to contribute to students’ learning and understanding of international development; 3) to provide students with work experience that complements their field of study and career goals; and 4) to better inform and engage the Canadian public on Canada’s contribution to international development efforts.
The SFD program is managed by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada and is made possible with the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canadian International Development Agency.
N.B. Only international liaison officers (ILOs) can submit internship proposals to this program. Students are NOT allowed to submit proposals directly to AUCC.
Please contact AUCC at sfd@aucc.ca, or (613) 563-3961 ext. 303, if you have any questions about this program. |
