CONSULTANCY
To strengthen and expand the scope of its work, RSAF in collaboration with Rhodes Social Impact Group established the RSAF Consultancy, aimed at providing Sub-Saharan charitable organisations with free, voluntary advice and support from Rhodes Scholars. This project builds on the existing RSAF function of providing financial grants to charitable groups working in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Since its inception in 2011, the RSAF Consulting Program has assisted several young organisations in Africa working on a wide range of topics ranging from education to environmental conservation to micro-finance. We have also worked on problems ranging from vision and mission alignment to project – specific inputs.
TIMING OF CONSULTING CYCLES
RSAF Grant Cycles take place twice during each Oxford University academic year: first during Michaelmas term, and then during Trinity term.
Calls for applications tend to open within the first month of the term.
While the exact dates differ from year to year, the actual months remain the same.
Michaelmas: October- December
Trinity: May- July
