About CorpsAfrica:
Founded in 2011, CorpsAfrica provides the opportunity for Africans to be “Peace Corps Volunteers" in their own countries.

Volunteers then move to high-poverty communities, where they facilitate meetings to help local people determine priority needs and implement projects that address those needs. The Volunteers are then expected to perform a comprehensive impact evaluation analysis to serve as a model for future CorpsAfrica Volunteers and their projects.
