Academic capacity building

The project granted MSc scholarships to numerous students; it additionally affiliated local students at undergraduate level and offered them research opportunities. Universities involved in academic capacity building are the University of Dschang in Cameroon, Université Evangélique en Afrique (UEA) in eastern DRC, Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) in Tanzania, and Egerton University in Kenya. Details on students involved are provided below. Completed and defended theses are listed under Publications from the project.
