Africa MBA Fellowship: Africa is at the forefront of significant global economic growth and
opportunity.
Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) is excited to contribute to the region's human and
economic development by educating leaders committed to making an impact on the continent.
The Stanford African's MBA Fellowships Program pays for tuition and associated fees
(approximately US$140,000) for citizens of African countries with financial need who wish to
obtain an MBA at Stanford GSB.
The Fellowship was created to reduce the financial barrier for African citizens to pursue an MBA
at Stanford GSB. Up to eight fellowships will be awarded annually.
Within two years of graduation from Stanford GSB, Stanford Africa MBA Fellows are required to
work in Africa for at least two years in a professional role that contributes to the continent’s
88
development.
Africa MBA Fellowship Eligibility
You must be a citizen of an African country. Dual citizens are eligible for the fellowship as long
as one’s citizenship belongs to an African nation. Permanent residents of an African country are
not eligible at this time.
You must have completed, or be in the final year of completing, your university studies.
If you studied at an undergraduate or graduate institution in Africa, we especially encourage
you to consider applying for the Stanford Africa MBA Fellowship Program.
Citizens of countries in Africa who studied in countries outside of Africa remain eligible for
consideration.
Stanford Africa MBA Fellows must return to work in Africa, within two years of Stanford MBA
graduation, to work for a period of at least two years.
Stanford MBA students pursue a wide variety of careers as alumni: you will be prepared to
succeed in organizations of every size and description.
As a Stanford Africa MBA Fellow, we expect you to contribute the management and leadership
skills you learned at Stanford to developing the African economy.
89
As such, our expectation is that Stanford Africa MBA Fellows will be committed to African
organizations with significant operations and impact in the region.
Africa MBA Fellowship - Financial Aid
To determine your financial need, you must complete Stanford’s financial aid process after you
are admitted.
All Stanford MBA students, regardless of citizenship, are eligible for financial assistance based
on your demonstrated financial need.
Stanford GSB provides need-based fellowship to MBA students without regard to citizenship.
For international citizens, Stanford GSB offers a loan program that does not require a US co-
signer.
The financial aid application process requires information about your assets and income.
Stanford Africa MBA Fellows receive financial support for the cost of Stanford MBA tuition and
associated fees for the full duration of the two-year course of study.
If you are admitted to the Stanford MBA Program but are not selected as a Stanford Africa MBA
Fellow, you remain eligible to receive financial aid based on the need you demonstrate in your
financial aid application. Your award will typically include a combination of fellowships and
loans.

49.0 Africa Adapt Knowledge Sharing Innovation Fund
Africa Adapt Knowledge Sharing Innovation Fund: The Knowledge Sharing Innovation Fund will
offer grants of up to US$10000 to projects that seek to overcome barriers to sharing knowledge
with ‘hard to reach’ or marginalized African communities.
These barriers may be related to language, access to information and marginalization due to
gender or disability.
Theatre performances, songs, radio broadcasts, visual arts, videos and comics are just a few
ideas about how they could be overcome.
The key is to ensure these groups can learn and share.
This fund seeks to support small-scale projects that offer innovative and practical ideas and
strategies for communicating/sharing between different stakeholder groups, of vulnerability to
climate change, impacts and adaptation responses.
It is aimed at small scale initiatives proposed by African research groups, community-based
organizations, co-operatives, networks and other local institutions in either urban or rural
locations.
The competition is open to research, local and civil society organizations, cooperatives and
community networks across Africa.
196
Organizations must be registered in their host country and evidence of registration (reference
no. date and place of registration) provided for the full proposal.
International organisations may apply provided that they are registered in Africa and have
collaboration with partners in Africa.

64.0 CODESRIA Small Grants for Thesis Writing
CODESRIA Small Grants for Thesis Writing: The Council for the Development of Social Science
Research in Africa (CODESRIA) runs an annual competition under its Small Grants Programme
for Thesis Writing.
The grants are designed to contribute to the development of the social sciences in Africa, and
the continuous renewal and strengthening of research capacities in African universities through
the funding of primary research conducted by post-graduate students and professionals.
In this connection, candidates whose applications are successful are encouraged to use the
resources available under the grants to cover the cost of their fieldwork, the acquisition of
books and documents, the processing of data which they have collected and the printing of
their thesis/dissertation.
As the Council has a strong interest in encouraging African researchers to engage one another
on a sustained basis, recipients of the small grants will also be supported to order books and
journals produced by African scholarly publishers, including Council for the Development of
Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) itself.
They will also be encouraged to apply to attend Council for the Development of Social Science
Research in Africa (CODESRIA) research methodology workshops.
238
The Programme is open to graduate students and professionals currently registered in African
universities preparing their theses and dissertations in all social science fields and in other
disciplines involving social or economic analysis.
Preference is given to those registered for Doctoral Studies (PhD or equivalent) with fewer
grants dedicated for Masters and MPhil theses.

67.0 Competition for African Journalists
Competition for African Journalists: Future Agricultures Consortium (FAC), in collaboration with
the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) of the University of Ghana, is
organizing an international conference to debate research findings and policy options around
the theme “Young People, Farming & Food: the Future of the Agrifood Sector in Africa.”
In the run-up to the international conference, FAC is running a competition to find the best
media reporting in Africa on young people and agriculture.
This competition aims to encourage young and early career journalists and media specialists
(between ages 18-40) to investigate the challenges and opportunities associated with young
people’s engagement in agriculture, to showcase success stories and best practices that can be
replicated, and to raise awareness on the important role of young people in agriculture and
rural development.
The competition is open to all media and communication professionals (either print, broadcast
or electronic) who are nationals of African states and are from established media houses,
private and public sector organisations (e.g. government ministries), and non-governmental
organisations including farmer organisations.
Entries should be original pieces and demonstrate realities on the ground.
The piece should be based on case studies/information from the country or region in which the
journalist/media specialist operates.
273
Each candidate will submit only one print (in word doc or docx format) or audio piece (in mp3
format) from any African country.
Any accompanying photos for print articles should be sent as jpegs. The title and the name of
the author should be clearly written on the cover page to the piece, or details included in email
with audio piece.
Applicants must submit their entry in English only by email.
Entries should be submitted to post @ wrenmedia.co.uk and copied to info [at] future-
agricultures.org
Your journalistic piece must reach the organizers by no later than 17th February to be
considered for inclusion in the competition.

68.0 Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP)
Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP): Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP) research
focuses on resource use, coral reef and fish monitoring, climate change, and marine protected
areas.
Results from this work have already provided important lessons that can be applied to the
wider region.
Research, outreach, capacity building and education are all important elements of this
conservation program.
Students/investigators are invited to apply for a volunteer position with Coral Reef
Conservation Project (CRCP).
Positions usually last from 2 to 3 months, with potential to stay up to 6 months.
Student/investigators will work in ongoing research programs but will also have the opportunity
to work on their own independent research as long as it does not detract from existing research
and work schedules.
Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP) can often assist with small or permanent research,
snorkeling and diving equipment but cannot cover salaries, and students/investigators from
outside the region are expected to cover their international travel and some basic living
expenses including cost of food.
276
Students/investigators can stay at the Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP) office for a
minimal fee of US$5 per night.
It can only house and coordinate 2 students/investigators at any one time, therefore timing is
important, and interested students/investigators will need to plan in advance to be able to
coordinate among other visitors.
Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP) is located in a beachside office, next to the Mombasa
Marine National Park and has a good computer network (5 networked Apple computers), a
library (7000 titles), two bedrooms, and cooking and washing facilities.
As part of the conditions for working with Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP),
students/investigators are required to leave their data with the project at the end of position,
and students/investigators grant authority to Coral Reef Conservation Project (CRCP) to use this
data for future studies and to insure quality analysis.
Scholarship and relevance of work are prime considerations in being accepted into the
program.
The project is currently listed among the top 10 coral reef institutions based on its rate of
publication.
It also has a scholarship program that supports a few African – Indian Ocean nationals every
year.
Please use the below contact for more information.

71.0 Dissertation Research Fellowships
Dissertation Research Fellowships: The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
invites applications for Ph.D. dissertation research fellowships on the Women’s Empowerment
in Agriculture Index (WEAI), in collaboration with US Government's Feed the Future initiative,
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Oxford Poverty and
Human Development Initiative (OPHI).
About the WEAI
The WEAI is the first measure to directly capture women's empowerment and inclusion levels in
the agricultural sector. The WEAI focuses on five domains:
Decisions over agricultural production,
Power over productive resources such as land and livestock,
Decisions over income,
Leadership in the community, and
Time use. Women are considered to be empowered if they have adequate
achievements in four of the five areas.
The Index also takes into consideration the empowerment of women compared with men in
the same household, based on asking women and men the same survey questions.
Objectives of the Fellowship
The objectives of sponsoring PhD work on the WEAI are the following:
290
Strengthen understanding and evidence of the WEAI through application to other
settings or furthering knowledge surrounding a particular domain or analysis of the
Index.
Expand understanding of WEAI dynamics through complementary qualitative and
ethnographic work on domains or frameworks underlying the WEAI.
Support promising researchers interested in gender and agriculture through
strengthening capacity for research, fieldwork and policy experience, and to build
collaborations with their home academic institutions.
Research proposals supported under this call must be focused entirely or mostly on one or
more of 19 FTF focus countries.
The FTF focus countries eligible for research proposals are Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia,
Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal, Rwanda,

Examples of potential research proposals could include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Using mixed methods to better understand key questions and assumptions surrounding
women’s decision-making and autonomy in agriculture-related production and how these
dynamics may affect measurement and data collection, with implications for index application
in Uganda and Ethiopia.
2. Using quantitative data to validate diverse measures of time use indicators using data from
Cambodia and how variations in these indicators have implications for the WEAI and gendered
program evaluation.
3. Program evaluation of a specific agriculture and food security intervention in Honduras using
quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods using the WEAI as a key outcome.
4. Examining relationships between the WEAI domains or indicators and agricultural
productivity or household food security in Bangladesh to estimate how increasing women’s
empowerment could contribute to other policy objectives.

82.0 Educating Africans for Christ Scholarships
Educating Africans for Christ Scholarships: Educating Africans for Christ (EAFC) is a non-profit
ministry supported by donations.
It was created in 1997 to educate and equip Africans to be missionaries in their own culture.
The purpose of Educating Africans for Christ (EAFC) is "to equip those with a calling from God to
do whatever work God has called them to for His glory, rather than for personal advancement,"
according to the EAFC board of directors.
EAFC seeks to collaborate with churches in Africa as a means of providing monetary and
relational support for its students in training.
It has supported nearly many students with financial scholarships that are used to pay for
tuition, not living expenses, at various educational institutions in Africa.
The scholarship money is sent directly to the institution the student is attending, and the cost
varies based on the degree level on which the student is working.
Educating Africans for Christ supports students at certificate, diploma, bachelors or graduate-
level depending on the individual need.
It is currently supporting many Kenyans studying in Kenya and other parts of Africa. Almost all
scholarships are for courses taught in African institutions.

Financial Assistance for Young Entrepreneurs: The Business Daily, a publication of the Nation
Media Group, has launched an ideas competition that will discover Kenya’s top innovators and
link them up with venture capitalists for financial and management backing they need to
develop into profitable enterprises.
Known as "The Next Big Thing" the competition targets Kenyans with big entrepreneurial ideas,
but without the money to get them started in the marketplace.
The Nation Media Group has teamed up with Kenyatta University — the knowledge partner and
Enablis Africa — the logistics partner to execute the plan.
The contest is open to innovators from all parts of the country and will specifically target young
entrepreneurs in high school, colleges and universities.
Innovators will submit entries to any of the 12 categories, including agribusiness, ICT,
manufacturing, transport, tourism, green business and ecology, and energy.
Entries can also be made in sports, leisure and entertainment, health, transport as well as
marketing.
Innovators can present only one idea for each category.
327
At close of the submissions, a panel of specialists will pick the best 20 ideas and present them
to Kenyatta University’s (KU) incubation centre for training on how to package and present the
ideas to potential financiers or mentors.
The five-member selection panel of made up of a banker, investors and an entrepreneur will
choose the winning applications based on originality of the idea, its potential to change lives,
commercial viability as well as a clear explanation of the skills required to implement it.
Apart from linking the innovators to financiers and mentors, The Next Big Thing is the Nation
Media Group’s contribution to the ongoing search for solutions that can help resolve Kenya’s
top most social challenge — mass unemployment among the youth.

production versus low yields as well as production orientation towards subsistence and not
commercialization.
The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (www.iita.org) and its SARD-SC project
partners is working to develop new technologies and innovations to improve cassava
production, processing and marketing so as to improve on food security and contribute to
poverty reduction of target countries through a value chain approach.
These new technologies and innovations will be developed and promoted through platforms
comprised of stakeholders from participating countries (DR Congo, Tanzania, Zambia and Sierra
Leone) and focusing on one of five main intervention areas: breeding, agronomy, agribusiness,
gender, postharvest and policy.

111.0 MRC/DfID African Research Leader Scheme Funds
The MRC/DfID African Research Leader scheme is a prestigious award, jointly funded by the
MRC and the UK’s Department for International Development (DfID), for non-clinical and
clinical researchers of exceptional ability.
The aim of the scheme is to strengthen research leadership across sub-Saharan Africa by
attracting and retaining talented individuals undertaking high quality programmes of research.
Lack of grant funding and research infrastructure in some sub-Saharan African countries can
make it difficult to retain and attract talented African scientists.
407
As such, African nationals are currently under-represented as leaders in medical research in the
region.
They will, therefore, particularly welcome applications from researchers, from less resourced
sub-Saharan African countries.
Applications are also encouraged from African researchers currently working overseas who
wish to return to sub-Saharan Africa.
Funding for the scheme is provided by the MRC and the Department for International
Development (DfID).
The scheme aims to support up to five Research Leaders in this round.
Funding is available for up to 5 years and should not exceed £500k.
The majority of the funding will be for work taking place in the African research organization
and so would be eligible for full economic costing (FEC) exceptions paid at 100%.

142.0 Two plus One Business Degree Scholarships
Bangkok School of Management (BSM) Business Degree program is the main reason people
decide to study at BSM.
2+1 means exactly what it says: You will begin your degree at BSM's training facilities in
Bangkok, and spend two years with us.
Then, for the final year of your degree, you will study with the University of your Choice, from a
list of leading universities across the USA, United Kingdom, Europe and Asia.
Even if you want to stay in Thailand for the final year of your degree, you still have the option to
complete your degree with a western university via distance learning, if that is what you prefer.
Successful business leaders and entrepreneurs often speak of their time as a student as being
the most memorable time of their life.
At the same time, many also express regret that they did not make more use of their carefree
days, prior to accepting the larger responsibilities of life in the business world.
A gap year abroad is a great way to ensure a memorable experience before graduating, but this
would hardly be a productive use of your time.
The 2+1 Business Degree program offers you the opportunity to do both at the same time;
improving yourself academically and socially while taking in the wonder and intrigue of Asian
lifestyle, without sacrificing the end result: A Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration,
493
Marketing, International Business or SME Management from a globally recognized university of
your choice!
