Full opportunity detailsApplicants must be nationals of Afreximbank member countries, which include Uganda, and meet the programme\'s student and age conditions. Candidates are expected to be enrolled in a recognised undergraduate or postgraduate programme in a relevant discipline such as economics, business, finance, accounting, social sciences, statistics, law, science, engineering or a related field. Applicants should have strong English or French and may benefit from additional working knowledge of Arabic or Portuguese. The programme generally accepts applicants aged 20 to 32 in the year of application.
Afreximbank\'s internship programme gives eligible students practical experience in the Bank\'s work supporting African trade and development. Interns are assigned to relevant business areas and work on professional tasks under Bank supervision.
Benefits
Afreximbank provides a monthly tax-free stipend of US$1,000 and a US$500 monthly housing allowance for interns relocating from their home countries. It also covers reasonable return travel between the intern\'s institution or home location and the internship location, provides initial hotel accommodation during induction, arrival and departure transfers, and support for the relevant residence visa where required. Interns are responsible for remaining living costs and must maintain the required medical and personal-accident insurance.
Requirements
Provide an application letter, current CV, valid passport, certified relevant academic certificates, a recommendation from the educational institution stating the proposed internship period, and a one-page statement of intent explaining the expected contribution and learning objectives. Candidates receiving a conditional offer must provide the medical and personal-accident insurance required for the assignment.
How to apply
Use the internship page\'s online application route and submit the required personal, academic and supporting documents. State the preferred internship period, which is normally three to six months, and remain available for the Bank\'s screening and placement process. Applications are accepted throughout the year.
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
