Climate change has massive impacts on the agricultural sector in Africa. The problems of climate change affecting the sustainability of the agricultural sector and food security in Africa are urgent and complex. The science and tools to deal with climate change are developing rapidly and go well beyond classical agricultural sciences and thus requires a transdisciplinary focus.
The CaReFoAfrica project is an intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme that aims to build human capacity in the field of climate change mitigation and adaptation in the agricultural sector of Africa. The project provides mobility scholarships for African M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, for trainees and university staff members to travel and study abroad. The project offers a wide range of exciting academic courses at 6 African universities.
“Through education and exposure, we build future leaders in Africa.”
The European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), in the context of managing the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme, collects and processes the personal data of some of the candidates. In particular, certain data of the scholarship holders (students, trainees and staff members) is shared with the Agency through the mobility tool under EU Funding and Tenders Portal and treated according to the following privacy statement.
