TAFSA Project Objective
The objective of the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme programme is to enhance human capital development in Africa, while strengthening intra-African collaboration as called for by Agenda 2063..
The Mobility to Train Agribusiness and Food Systems Scientists for African Agriculture (TAFSA) is designed to re-direct human capacity development efforts in the agricultural sector in Africa to address three key challenges that agricultural development in Africa should provide solutions to. These are, graduate employment, wealth creation (poverty reduction) and food and nutrition security improvement. Previous projects/collaborations in the agricultural domain focused largely on deep science, with limited emphasis on the fate of the students upon graduation, their transition into the next professional life, and the contribution of the graduate to the current social dilemma of the society including lack of employment, poverty and food and nutrition insecurity..
