The DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) is Germany's largest funding organization for the international exchange of students and scholars. It supports cooperation between German universities and institutions in developing countries. In 2010, the DAAD provided over 5 million euros in grants for African students and scholars, as well as German students and scholars working in Africa. It also funds various partnership programs between German and African universities aimed at internationalization, capacity building, and addressing issues like environmental sustainability, public policy, and health.
