About the CREATE-GreenAfrica Project
Climate Research and Education to Advancing Green Development in Africa (CREATE-GreenAfrica) is the project selected in the framework of the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme. It is comprising of six African Partner Institutions and one EU Technical Partner. The CREATE-GreenAfrica consortium includes the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM, Tanzania) as the coordinating institution, Mekelle University (MU, Ethiopia), Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU, Zimbabwe), University of Free StaAte (UFS, South Africa), University of Ghana (UG, Ghana), University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT, Nigeria) and European Technical Partner University of Southern Denmark (SDU, Denmark). This project aims to increase climate-oriented skills and qualifications across the African continent through mobility and experience sharing. CREATE-GreenAfrica Project will significantly contribute to advancing the knowledge and skills of students, trainees, consortium staff and other non-consortium members on climate change adaptation and mitigation by ensuring the participation of women and girls, and the disadvantaged groups in the African continent in general and the consortium in particular.
A total of 22 full-time MSc, 13 short-time MSc and 6 full-time PhDs and 6 short-time PhD will be trained from 2024 to 2028 in the thematic areas of:
i) Environmental Sustainability (impact assessment, adaptation and mitigations of climate variability and change),
ii) Climate/weather related processes at local and global level for proper forecast, prediction and early warning,
iii) Resilience of food production systems to climate change and variability impacts,
iv) Gender-climate-food system nexus, policies and institutions related to climate and development,
v) Climate change and water resources,
vi) Collective action, and natural resource management and Ecosystem based adaptation to climate change.
The project will provide scholarships for full degree programs and short-term credit-seeking mobility for students. The project will support researchers who will be expected to undertake research that contributes to the overarching CREATE-GreenAfrica research objectives, which cover broad areas of climate change and adaptation.
