DAAD In-Country/In-Region Scholarships For Africans

The DAAD In-Country/In-Region Scholarships programme is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) with the aim of contributing to developments in the African region.

The In-Country/In-Region programme in developing countries aims to contribute to training highly qualified professionals and managerial staff for sustainable development in the partner countries.

The programme thus offers scholarships to future university teachers from developing countries for postgraduate courses and for doctorates.

Recipients of the DAAD In-Country/In-Region Scholarships study at universities in their home country or at highly qualified institutions in the region, some of which are organised in networks.
