The African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) was established in 1988 as a public not-for-profit organization devoted to the advancement of economic policy research and training in Africa.

AERC agitates the provision of capacity building in economic policy in Francophone and Anglophone African countries through provision of support in the areas of policy research and graduate training.

AERC in collaboration with the Government of Kenya, through the National Treasury, seeks to build a pool of qualified Economists and Policy Analysts, through a Scholarship Programme for PhD in Economics.

The scholarship will be offered in collaboration with the following universities across the Region, with whom AERC has partnerships:

Interested applicants must submit their applications for admission directly to the respective Universities (application procedure can be obtained from the respective universities’ websites).

Upon receipt of an admission letter from specific university, the applicants shall submit their application for scholarship to AERC on training@aercafrica.org and attach a copy of the admission letter.

The deadline for applying for the scholarship is June 30, 2014.

KAAD is offering scholarships to Germany for Master's, PhD and post-doc level!

KAAD is the German Catholic Academic Service for Foreigners. Its programme for sub-Saharan Africa is geared towards development of African countries and societies as well as development of qualified individuals.

Young university graduates, who have already taken over responsibility in church and society, should be empowered to continue along this line and do it in an even more qualified way. Beneficiaries of KAAD-scholarships are predominantly from needy families and display academic excellence. The ultimate aim of our scholarship policy is the promotion of so-called "Agents of Change”.

• above-average performance in studies and research
• orientation of studies/research towards permanent reintegration in your home region (otherwise the scholarship is turned into a loan)
• Religious and social commitment (activities) and willingness to inter-religious dialogue.
