ACIPP Ghana: International Affairs and Diplomacy Internships
About Program
ACIPP internships in international affairs and diplomacy are hosted by the Legon Centre for International Affairs and Diplomacy (LECIAD). LECAID, established in 1989, is an International Relations and Diplomacy institute with the mandate to train the staff for Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other allied institutions. LECIAD is also a designated Training Institution of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). LECAID is interested in interns who have a specific research topic (or research area) in mind, relevant to their current topics (visit this website to learn more about current research at LECAID). The intern will conduct independent research on the chosen topic, under the supervision of a LECAID fellow. Preferably undergraduate, master's or PhD students in the fields of international relations or peace and security/conflict resolution studies.
