STUDENTS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: AMAS-Academic Mobility for African Sustainable Development Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme

The Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme supports higher education cooperation between countries in Africa.
The scheme aims to promote sustainable development and ultimately contribute to poverty reduction by increasing the availability of trained and qualified highlevel professional manpower in Africa. The programme’s objective is to improve the skills and competencies of students and staff through enhanced mobility between African countries. Strengthening cooperation between Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Africa will increase access to quality education and will encourage and enable African students to undertake postgraduate studies in the African continent. Furthermore, mobility of staff (academic and administrative) will enhance the international cooperation
capacity of HEIs in Africa. More precisely, the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme aims to:

 Contribute to the improvement of the quality of higher education through the promotion of internationalisation and harmonisation of programmes and curricula within participating institutions.

 Enable students, academics and staff to benefit linguistically, culturally and professionally from the experience gained in the context of mobility to another African country. The Executive Agency (EACEA); an Agency of the European Commission, is responsible for managing this programme;
