Universities

African National Universities are partners in developing a new generation of African agricultural scientists. AGRA funds the African Centre for Crop Improvement (ACCI), a PhD program for plant breeding at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal; and a similar program, the West African Centre for Crop Improvement (WACCI) at the University of Ghana-Legon. Other partnerships are training dozens of M.Sc. students in agriculture at Haramaya University in Ethiopia, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology in Ghana, the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, and Soikoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania. An AGRA-supported M.Sc. program in agriculture and applied economics will train graduate students in 12 African countries.
