The overall aim of the scheme is to strengthen the research capacity of universities and research institutions in sub-Saharan Africa by supporting the development of sustainable research networks.

The scheme is funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID).

 

The objectives are to:

• facilitate sustainable multidisciplinary partnerships between research groups in sub-Saharan Africa and the UK.

• strengthen research and training capacity in sub-Saharan African Institutions of Higher Education through the skill transfer between the partner organisations of the research consortia.

• produce a cadre of young, talented researchers through integrated PhD scholarships and shared supervision of post-graduate students between the UK-based and African consortia members.
