KAAD in Africa
KAAD's Africa Department works with sub-Saharan Africa, while the Arabic-speaking countries of North Africa belong to the Middle East Department.
The focus countries of KAAD are spread across four regions, each of which has a KAAD partner committee that represents KAAD affairs and plays an important role in the process of pre-selecting applicants. In West Africa the focus country is Ghana , in the Horn of Africa it is Ethiopia and in southern Africa the focus is on Zimbabwe . In East Africa there is a partner committee in the focus country Kenya , but the two neighbouring countries Uganda and Tanzania are also in focus.
