Claude Ake Award
The Claude
Ake Award
program was established in 1999 with funding from the Ford Foundation to honor
the memory of Claude
Ake, a world renown Nigerian
visionary, scholar, and activist. Africa-America
Institute administers the Ford Foundation-funded program in conjunction
with the African Studies Association. The fellows receive stipends to
further their innovative and practical research concerning Africa’s
developmental challenges. They travel to the United States to present their
findings at the Annual Meeting and to participate in study tours tailored to
their specific research interest. Pending future funding, 2004 constituted the
last year of the award cycle.
