Impacts of International Service on European Volunteers and Host Communities in Africa

International Service

We partnered with Volunteer Organization and Service Enquiry Southern Africa (VOSESA) to assess the impacts of international service. VOSESA has used our international service impact project design and modified the methods and instruments to fit the programmatic and cultural context of sub-Saharan Africa.  Working with international service programs based in Germany, VOSESA examines the impact of international service in South Africa, Mozambique and Tanzania through volunteer surveys, host organization interviews, and host beneficiary focus groups. 

Funding Partners: Ford Foundation, Washington University-Brookings Institution Academic Venture Fund
