MMoCRA Consortium / Busitema University Opportunities

Guinea-Bissau is explicitly listed among Target Group 2 eligible Western African countries in the official MMoCRA application guidelines. Student mobility can be credit-seeking or degree-seeking, with study or research hosted by eligible consortium universities in Uganda, Kenya, Namibia or South Africa. The current official MMoCRA scholarship page lists the application deadline as 20 September 2026, and the revised application guidelines specify 5:00 PM East Africa Time. Research themes include climate and energy, agrifood systems, digital technologies, critical raw materials, water, biodiversity and sustainable development.

At application, student candidates must be nationals of and resident in an African country. Target Group 2 includes Guinea-Bissau and covers applicants registered/admitted in, or graduates of, an African higher-education institution outside the five African MMoCRA partner institutions. Mobility must be to an eligible host country different from the scholarship holder’s nationality and residence. Target Group 2 applicants must also satisfy host-program admission requirements and provide proof of admission to a partner university plus a letter from a proposed supervisor and/or head of department.
