Simulafri
Simulafri is an in-class simulation exercise I developed to help students learn about foreign aid and international development. Students play the roles of cabinet ministers in a fictional Sub-Saharan African nation and attempt to steer the country through the complex power politics of development planning, donor relations, and democratization. Simulafri is aimed at a senior undergraduate level and can work with groups as small as five. The simulation can be structured as one 2.5 hour session or two shorter sessions of 75 minutes each. If you are interested in learning more about the Simulafri exercise or would like to consider using it for instructional purposes, please contact me for more information.
