KAAD in Africa

KAAD's Africa Department works with sub-Saharan Africa, while the Arabic-speaking countries of North Africa belong to the Middle East Department.

The focus countries of KAAD are spread across four regions, each of which has a KAAD partner committee that represents KAAD affairs and plays an important role in the process of pre-selecting applicants. In West Africa the focus country is Ghana, in the Horn of Africa it is Ethiopia and in southern Africa the focus is on Zimbabwe. In East Africa there is a partner committee in the focus country Kenya, but the two neighbouring countries Uganda and Tanzania are also in focus.
