The Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa is always looking to develop partnerships that further our strategic objectives. We strive to connect and collaborate with organisations that share our values in order to increase the impact of our work and the work of our partners.
Our partnerships fall under these main categories:
Event and Programme Partnerships:
The PfAL Forum will be taking place in West Africa in September of 2023. This event will bring together PfAL alumni, many who are leaders of various industries on the continent, to discuss the future of the network along with various issues facing the continent. If you would like to collaborate with us in putting on this event, or you would like to sponsor a portion of the event, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Are you an expert in your field or a particular industry? Do you have extensive experience working on the continent? Do you want to provide mentorship and guidance to students looking to return to Africa? If so, please enquire about participating in the Africa Engagement Program (AEP) Career Transitions Lab.
If you would like to participate in the Summit, sponsor a panel, or be a part of the career fair, please connect us to discuss the opportunity.
If you would like to propose a joint event please contact us with a proposal.
Research Partnerships:
FLIA is always looking to expand the reach of our research. We have been successful in attracting various grants to support the work that we do and would like to continue to promote research on the continent. Several researchers affiliated with the FLIA have provided policy recommendations to various institutions and governments and some also work in consulting capacities. If you or your academic institution would like to collaborate on a research project or publication, or you need support in our areas of expertise, please contact us.
Corporate Partnerships:
Donate to the Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa
FLIA and the Africa Engagement Programme is always looking to develop relationships with individual donors or corporate sponsors to further advance our research and programmes. We work closely with the LSE Philanthropy and Global Engagement (PAGE) office to ensure that we meet the needs of anyone interested in supporting the work of the Institute. Please contact us if you are interested in the work that we do.
The African Employer Network
The Africa Engagement Programme can provide access to a wide pool of LSE graduates trained with the knowledge and skills to contribute to any working environment. If you would like to advertise a post or build a relationship with the FLIA to provide internships or employment opportunities to our students and alumni, please join the African Employer Network.
The LSE Africa Internship Programme is designed to support selected students who have the intention of continuing their career on the African continent post-LSE or who are interested in working on African issues throughout their career. The internship programme provides a learning opportunity for LSE students and recent alumni in the early stages of their career. The Africa Engagement Programme is looking to engage with employers interested in becoming host organisations for this programme and build longstanding relationships.
