Country Manager Job Opportunity – Africa Educational Trust (AET)
Job Title: Country Manager
Organisation: Africa Educational Trust (AET)
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
About US:
The Africa Educational Trust (AET) was founded in 1958 to support
education for African people, particularly those involved in the continent’s
struggle for independence. The founders were strong opponents of colonial rule
and brought together prominent activists, such as the Reverend Michael Scott,
with leading academics in African Studies including Professor Kenneth Kirkwood
and Professor Roland Oliver. Together, the founders raised funds to support
African students, especially exiles and refugees from white minority regimes in
Southern Africa. This enabled them to obtain higher education in Europe (mostly
the UK) and gain the skills and knowledge necessary to build and lead
independent states.
