In return, it is expected that the interns will contribute fresh and diverse ideas to the operations of the Afreximbank Group.
The Internship is open to students who are nationals of the Bank’s member countries, a list of which is available on the Bank’s website; students of African descent in the diaspora and non-African students whose vision for the transformation of Africa resonates with the mission of the Afreximbank Group. The programme attracts highly qualified candidates—entry into the programme based on merit.
