Research/Thesis Work
Many volunteers or interns use their time with IVC to conduct research on a specific topic for requirements at their home universities. IVC is more than willing to cooperate and assist you in conducting your research as long as it is in a respectful manner with consideration for the people we serve.
Past volunteers have conducted research on our women's microfinance groups, issues of women's empowering, challenges facing NGOs in the region, and much more. If you have specific research requirements or want help brainstorming a topic, feel free to contact us and we will assist you in any way we can.
