Financial Support

AFAM is unable to offer financial support to cover any of the costs associated with participation in the conference. For participants who need financial support to cover their travel, registration and subsistence costs, we suggest applications to external and national funding agencies.

Letters of Invitation

Invitations will be issued only to conference participants and their accompanying partners who have paid the conference registration fees in full.

Those who need an invitation letter for Botswana visa application after they have paid the conference registration fees in full should contact, Dr. Dorothy Mpabanga at  [email protected], or [email protected]  and Dr. Eileen Kwesiga (Program Chair) at ekwesiga@bryant.edu stating their full name, address, email address, title of their presentation and the track their presentation was accepted. The invitation will be sent via e mail.

Due to legal reasons, AFAM would not be able to offer letters of invitation to any prospective participant before the full payment of the conference registration fees.
