CADFP Alumni

The Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP)—funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York and administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE)—connects the African academic diaspora in the U.S. and Canada with higher education institutions in Africa. CADFP Fellows spend time at host institutions in Africa, where they engage in a range of educational activities in their field of specialization, including curriculum co-development/revision, collaborative research, and training/mentoring of graduate students and early-career faculty. Since its launch in 2013, CADFP has awarded 748 fellowships at 201 host institutions across 10 African countries. These fellowships have helped in not only achieving specific academic outcomes stipulated in the grant applications, but also enhancing capacities of host institutions and collaborating faculty as well as forming lasting partnerships and networks.


The CADFP has organized two Alumni Convenings. Learn more about each convening and access the convening summary reports at the links below.

  • 2021 Alumni Convening
  • 2024 Alumni Convening

The CADFP Alumni Steering Commitee is comprised of seven CADFP alumni based in Canada, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and the United States. Read their bios here. The CADFP Alumni Steering Commitee most recently worked together to strategize and plan the 2024 All-Alumni Virtual Convening, which took place on January 23-25, 2024.

The CADFP is made possible by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York.
