Introduction
The Africa Graduate Mentorship and Coaching Programme (AGMCP) 2020 is designed for mentoring and coaching graduate-level (masters and PhD students) between 20 and 30 years of age in Africa in the areas of research and professional development. Each successful national from an African country will be assigned to a mentor and life coach in Africa and Diaspora. The life goal and professional profile of mentees and mentors will be matched. The programme for each cohort will run from January to December each year.
The AGMCP is facilitated by the Interconnections for Making Africa Great Empowered and Sustainable (IMAGES) Initiative.
