Germany’s academic exchange service DAAD and Ruforum, a network of African agricultural research institutions, announced nine winners of their joint PhD scholarship programme last week.
The programme, launched in 2011, offers East African lecturers the ability to upgrade their skills with a PhD qualification while remaining on the continent. This year’s winners takes the programme’s entire intake of doctoral trainees to 29.
