Dear Simians,
Proudly Made in Africa (PMIA) is a U.K. and Ireland based non-profit organization that promotes the ethical trade of value-added products from Africa to Europe. Rather than promoting the fair trade of commodities, it promotes the fair trade of value added products which garner 3 to 5 times the revenue of unprocessed commodities. You can think of it as taking fair trade to the next level.
PMIA created the PMIA Fellowship program in collaboration with UCD's College of Business about 5 years ago and is seeking a new PMIA Fellow. A sign of the success of this program is that UCD has recently created a full-time faculty position for a professor of Business in Africa that has been taken up by former PMIA Fellow, Dr. Penelope Muzanenhamo. More about the program and role of the PMIA Fellow can be found here -- http://www.proudlymadeinafrica.org/education/UCD-PMIA-Fellowship .
Please see the call for applications in the message below.
Best Regards,
Matthew Murphy, PhD
