Competition

The Academic Fellows program has brought together 11 African academics based around the continent and the Diaspora to investigate Africa’s narrative across a range of mediums and topics that include social media, arts reinstitution, the impact of COVID-19, and spoken word poetry. The program brings academic rigour and an evidence-based approach to African No Filter’s work to understand and shift harmful and stereotypical narratives about Africa. It forms part of a larger research agenda to understand narrative and its impact. It is co-funded by Facebook and supported by The African Union, AUDA-NEPAD and the New York-based Africa Centre. 

The ANF Academic Fellows program features African academics based both in the continent and the diaspora. They will conduct research across more than 15 African countries:.https://www.africanofilter.org/grantee-academic-fellows
