About the Intra-Africa Programme
The Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scholarship Programme is a cooperation and mobility programme in the area of higher education. It promotes cooperation between higher education institutions and supports mobility in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific regions.
The Programme aims to increase access to quality education that will encourage and enable students to undertake postgraduate studies and to promote student retention in the region along with the mobility of staff (academic and administrative) while increasing the competitiveness and attractiveness of the institutions themselves.
Under this framework, HEED-Africa is one of the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Programme projects funded by the European Commission.
