A press release from May 2014 noted:

"For the first time, the Advisory Committee for the African Humanities Programme (AHP) met to select candidates for the programme’s doctoral completion scholarships and post-doctoral fellowships on African soil when they gathered at Rhodes University recently.

"“The main objective of the African Humanities Programme is to develop scholarship on the continent,” said Rhodes University Dean of Humanities Faculty and Co-Associate Director of the AHP, Professor Fred Hendricks. “It is important for the programme to be rooted in Africa.”

"Born of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the AHP is funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The Advisory Committee has previously always convened in New York, but been comprised of many respected intellectuals from countries on the African continent who have shaped the programme from the start."
