| Claude Ake Award | |
The Claude Ake Award program was established in 1999 with funding from the Ford Foundation to honor the memory of Claude Ake, a world renown Nigerian visionary, scholar, and activist. Africa-America Institute administers the Ford Foundation-funded program in conjunction with the African Studies Association. The fellows receive stipends to further their innovative and practical research concerning Africas developmental challenges. They travel to the United States to present their findings at the Annual Meeting and to participate in study tours tailored to their specific research interest. Pending future funding, 2004 constituted the last year of the award cycle. | |
