The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is a joint organization of Germany’s higher
education institutions and is responsible for promoting international academic relations, primarily
through the exchange of students, academics and researchers. One of DAAD’s main objectives is to
promote academic and scientific advancement in developing countries.
Using funds provided by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the DAAD
promotes the creation of high-quality and permanently self-sufficient higher education structures in
developing countries. Selected African Centres of Excellence and sustainable networks are supported
by DAAD through individual scholarships for postgraduate students.
These African Networks or Centres are characterized by:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Academic and scientific excellence through peer-reviewing
Africa-based ownership
Contribution to capacity building
Regional co-operation and networking
Focus on critical African problems (MDG relevance)
Cost-effective alternatives to training overseas
Pooling of resources
Reduction of brain drain
On the following pages each network and centre is introduced and applicants may find detailed
information and contact data. Applications have to be submitted to the centres and networks only,
DAAD does not accept applications sent directly to the head office in Germany. The subsequent
selection process will take place in two stages. The centre or network will initially pre-select
candidates. The applications of the short-listed candidates will then be sent to the DAAD head office
in Bonn where the final decision will be made.
The scholarships are open to postgraduate students from a Sub-Saharan African country who
want to pursue their degree at an African university or centre outside their home country.
The focus is on strengthening university staff development by preferring young university staff
members or candidates considered for teaching/research staff recruitment. Applications from female
candidates are particularly welcome.
Detailed requirements for application have to be checked with the
respective African Centre and Network. The age limit for applicants is
36 years at the date of application.

CERAAS
Centre d’Etude Régional pour l’Amélioration
de l’Adaptation à la Sécheresse
Brief description:
• CERAAS was created in 1989, and was strongly supported by the European Community for many
years. It is a research unit of ISRA (national Senegalese agronomical research institute) with a
regional vocation as it is a “research and training base centre” of the CORAF/CILSS regional network.
It conducts for the latter development and research and training schemes with various national
and international institutions.
• The mission of CERAAS is to contribute to the improvement of the agricultural food production and
the extermination of poverty in the developing countries in dry zones.
• The objectives of CERAAS are to propose plant varieties adapted to drought, to develop methods
of analysis and decision-making tools, which contribute to improve and/or stabilise agricultural
production in arid and semi arid zones (to cope with drought and climate change and variability),
and to train scientists and students in those areas.
• In the area of natural resources management and in particular that of genetic resources, CERAAS
deals with problems related to plant adaptation to drought. The disciplines covered are agronomy,
agro-climatology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology. CERAAS priority
plants are food crops (millet, sorghum, groundnut, cowpea, maize), new alternative cash crops
(sesame, jatropha) and traditional useful trees (baobab, tamarind). Biometrics and applied
mathematics (modelling) are disciplines developed to support research activities. Based on those
tools CERAAS recently started working also on climate index based insurance for poor farmers in
collaboration with farmers’ organisations and international institutions.
Aims :
To develop methods in bio-sciences and agronomical areas allowing better adaptation to climate
change and variability and to train students in those areas.

PTCI
Programme de Troisième Cycle Interuniversitaire en Economie
Courte description :
• Le PTCI est une initiative de la Conférence des Institutions d’Enseignement et de Recherche
Economiques et de Gestion en Afrique (CIEREA). La CIEREA, née en Février 1986, est une ONG
internationale. Elle regroupe des facultés, des centres de recherche et instituts en Sciences
Economiques et Gestion d’Afrique Francophone au Sud du Sahara. La CIEREA a réalisé une étude
diagnostic sur l’harmonisation des programmes d’enseignement et de recherche en Afrique au Sud
du Sahara.
• C’est dans cette perspective globale que s’inscrit l’initiative PTCI en Sciences Economiques. Le PTCI
a été adopté lors de la sixième Conférence de la CIEREA, tenué a Cotonou (Bénin) les 21 et 22 Mai
1992.
Objectifs et principes :
• Former des économistes de haut niveau, performants et compétitifs qui ont de solides bases en
théorie et les outils pratiques nécessaires pour appréhender à bonne fin les politiques et la gestion
économiques.
• Donner les bases de formation à un nombre plus réduit d’étudiants très performants qui
peuvent par la suite entreprendre la rédaction et la soutenance d’une thèse de doctorat, ouvrant
principalement la porte au recrutement dans les facultés et centres de recherche.
• Réduire les besoins de formation à l’étranger des cadres africains, dans la mesure où celle-ci peut
être assurée sur place à un coût raisonnable.
Type de diplôme final: Début de programme: Durée du programme: DEA/Master, Ph.D. et Doctorat en Sciences Economiques
Janvier de chaque année
