Partners Grants Projects for Africa
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa is a regional economic community in Africa with twenty-one member states stretching from Tunisia to Eswatini. COMESA was formed in December 1994, replacing a Preferential Trade Area which had existed since 1981.
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is the largest regional economic organization in Africa, with 25 member states and a population of about 490 million. COMESA has a free trade area, with 25 member states, and launched a customs union in 2009.
The amount of tuition covered under the COMESA scholarship is based on the tuition charged by each university. However, the scholarship will cover the accommodation, transport, food and other living and administrative costs.
This sponsorship has been facilitated through support from the European Union and the Organization of the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) under the TradeCom II Capacity Building programme. In 2010, the 28th COMESA Council of Ministers meeting decided to establish a professional or graduate school on Regional Integration to foster cooperation in research and development in the COMESA region in line with Articles 127 and 128 of the Treaty.
Following this decision, COMESA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with participating Universities to offer training and undertake conventional researches as tools for analyzing impacts and supporting innovations to address development challenges in the region.
However, if you need to sign a MOU please keep writing to Us your needs via email at comesaproject@gmail.com just by sharing to Us your interest so we will reshare to you the MOU and the CVUP form

The Research Collaboration Fund!
The UGPN Research Collaboration Fund (RCF) has been an integral part of the network since its inception in 2011. The fund has supported a number of bilateral, trilateral and, since the University of Wollongong became the fourth UGPN member in 2015, quadrilateral research projects across a broad range of academic disciplines. Providing starter funds of up to $10,000 per partner, per project, has allowed new research interactions to begin. It’s enabled students and staff to move between organisations linked to these projects, and ultimately enabled the research to secure external funding. To date the annual fund of US$240,000 has supported 79 research projects, covering a range of topics including carbon economies, bio-nano interfaces, genes and behaviour, international trade, visitor impacts and mathematical modelling.
