Funding Opportunities at Regional Scholarship and Innovation Fund (Rsif)

The history of the Regional Scholarship and Innovation Fund (Rsif) goes back to the creation of PASET in 2013. Since its operationalisation in 2017, Rsif has been growing rapidly. See our brief history below.A sustainable pan-African science fund that will raise the quality of doctoral training and research in African universities and institutions.

Rsif is the first Pan-African science fund of its kind which has been created to:

1. Create a stock of highly skilled scientists, professionals and innovators in ASET areas.
2. Identify and nurture young talented Africans who wish to further their studies in ASET fields where expertise is needed most.
3. Address imbalances in the number of women and disadvantaged groups in ASET fields in Africa.
4. Build African university capacity to provide relevant ASET training and to ensure continued investment in scaling up the ASET education and workforce.
