Overview
In 2008, the initiative AFRIKA KOMMT! (AFRICA IS COMING!) was called into being by 19 leading German enterprises - the very first joined initiative for capacity building of German industry. It aims at young highly qualified professionals from Subsaharan African countries with several years of work experience on the job and in some cases already holding a leading position.

The purpose of the programme is the qualification of young professionals and junior executives in international management competencies. During a twelvemonth stay in Germany, a nine-month internship in one of the participating companies forms the core of the programme.
