The European Union, through its Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme, has provided financial support to African universities in order to assist in the training of graduate students.
Through the fully-funded CoTRA Staff Mobility Scholarships 2022, five African partner institutions and one EU technical partner will work together to train professionals on how to achieve sustainable fisheries and aquaculture resource management. This is expected to result in increased fish production as well as enhanced food and nutritional security, and, as a result, improved livelihoods and household revenue.
