“I learned about the Aga Khan Academies in early 2013 following a visit from His Highness the Aga Khan to Canada, where the Canadian government pledged continuing support to His Highness’s work,” she says. “When a job opportunity came up to work at AKA, Hyderabad, I jumped at the chance as I am passionate about the Academies’ mission.”
Hyderabad, India is almost half a world away from Ontario, Canada, but Lisa Gervais was thrilled at the opportunity of moving to work at the Aga Khan Academy, Hyderabad.
Lisa is one of several Canadian Development Exchange (CADEX) professionals who are working at the Aga Khan Academies in India and Kenya.
CADEX is part of a joint initiative – known as the Partnership for Advancing Human Development in Africa and Asia – between the Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) and Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development. Within this partnership, the CADEX programme helps strengthen the capacity of AKFC’s partner institutions overseas – including the Aga Khan Academies – by drawing on the skills of Canadian professionals.
