Background of the Project
The European Union (EU), under its Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme, has provided funding to support the training of graduate students in African universities under the “Climate Research and Education to Advancing Green Development in Africa (CREATE-GreenAfrica)” project. The project is a mobility programme comprising six African Partner Institutions and one EU Technical Partner. The CREATE-GreenAfrica consortium includes University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM, Tanzania) who is the coordinating institution, Mekelle University (MU, Ethiopia), Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU, Zimbabwe), University of Free State (UFS, South Africa), University of Ghana (UG, Ghana), Port Harcourt (UNIPORT, Nigeria) and European Technical Partner University of Southern Denmark (SDU, Denmark). The project aims to strengthen climate-oriented skills, academic qualifications, , research excellence, innovation, and institutional collaboration across Africa through academic mobility, research exchange, and shared learning experiences. CREATE-GreenAfrica seeks to advance the knowledge, technical competencies, and research capacity of students, trainees, and staff in climate change adaptation and mitigation. The programme further promotes inclusive participation by encouraging the involvement of women, girls, and disadvantaged or vulnerable groups across the African continent in general and the consortium in particular.
