Rift Valley Institute Annual Field Courses

 

The Rift Valley Institute's annual field courses offer an intensive, graduate-level approach to the history, culture and political economy of three subregions: Sudan and South Sudan; the Horn of Africa; and the Great Lakes. 

 

The courses are designed for aid workers, peacekeepers, researchers, business executives and diplomats – those living and/or working in the countries of the region and those about to start. They consist of a six-day dawn-to-dusk programme of lectures, seminars and panel discussions, led by international specialists and scholars and activists from the region.
