Boston University
Niamey International Development Program
|
With the choice of a semester or academic year in the capital city of Niamey, Niger, the program combines the study of development, language, and society in the Sahel region of West Africa with individual community service placements that examine Niger’s culture and ongoing development efforts. The development course and community placement examine questions such as: What exactly is development? Does it happen as a result of a World Bank loan or a change in U.S. foreign policy? Is it about communities gaining the knowledge, skills, and resources to analyze and solve their own definition of development problems?
