Africa Focus Countries

KAAD's Priority Countries in Africa

Our program for sub-Saharan Africa focuses on both development and research-oriented funding.

These scholarships benefit talented students from low-income families.

KAAD’s priority countries in Africa are: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya , and Zimbabwe. Uganda and Tanzania, along with Kenya, are also part of the East Africa priority region. There are four partner organizations that are also responsible for the neighboring countries of the priority countries.

In the priority countries of Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe, the S1 program also offers scholarships for on-site master’s degree programs (Sur Place scholarships). The local scholarship recipients and those returning from Germany form alumni associations supported by KAAD.
