Frank Mintah is a PhD Researcher at the Institute of Geography, University of Bern. He holds a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree in Planning (Urban Planning and Land Governance) from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. During this episode, he shared invaluable input about what activities Initiative Afrique could promote to offer extra value to African students. He mentioned career orientation programs, capacities, skills development tailored to the African landscape and transferable skills. The most critical point for him is how Initiative Afrique could support African researchers in moving beyond publishing a paper in a scientific journal. How can policies be impacted once they return to their countries of origin?
