The West African Science Service Centre on Climate
Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) under the sponsorship of the German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is pleased to
announce application for its Doctoral and Master’s Research Programmes
in all its eleven (11) West African partner universities.
WASCAL
is a wholly West African international organization with focus on
academic and transdisciplinary research, building graduate-level
scientific capacity and serving policy makers in West Africa with
science-based advice on adaptation to climate change impacts and land
use management. It cooperates with many agencies and universities in the
region, providing a knowledge platform of excellence for its partners.
WASCAL is funded by BMBF, multilateral and bilateral partners and its 11
West African member countries, namely: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde,
Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, The Gambia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and
Togo.
WASCAL’s mission is to provide information and knowledge
services at the local, national and regional levels to West African
member countries to cope with the adverse impacts of climate change. We
do this through capacity building support to young West African scholars
in fields of climate, natural and social sciences and by delivering
climate and environmental services in member countries.
