Higher Education Forum on Capacity Building and Development Research in Subsahran Africa at ZEF

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has invited seventy eight (78) former DAAD scholars from Sub-Saharan Africa to Germany to participate in three summerschools at the University of Magdeburg (Summer school for African Networks in the field of Technology and Development), the University of Bochum (Summer school on Peace and Development) and the University of Giessen (Summer school on Resource Use, Agriculture, Environment and Rural Development for Sub-Saharan Countries). At the end, the participants of the three summer schools come together for a Higher Education Forum on Capacity Building and Development Research in Subsahran Africa at ZEF, University of Bonn.

The four days at ZEF are meant to be a lively exchange between 80 DAAD alumni from Sub-Saharan Africa and 35 ZEF PhD students from 20 countries around the world and the speakers from BMZ, DAAD, GTZ, DIE-GDI and ZEF. The objective is that participants develop their own views on development assistance and articulate these in discussions.
