ANESI’s visiting Fellowship for Outstanding Women Geoscientists

Kwako mwanamke unayependa kujiendeleza kimasomo, nafasi hii ni maalumu kwa ajili yako. Maelezo hapo chini yamejifafanua unless Ki-Mombo kiwe tatizo. Usisite wala kujiuliza mara mbili fanya kama unajaribu kuzoma. Haina gharama kumbuka, kila kitu ni juu yao swala ni wewe ni utiyari wako.

In the framework of the Earth Science Education Initiative in Africa, UNESCO has facilitated the setting up the African Network of Earth Science Institutions (ANESI) to promote high quality research and training through collaboration and partnership among Earth science institutions. The Visiting Fellowship for Outstanding Women Geoscientists is one of the core capacity building activities with the objective to improve the involvement of women in post-graduate studies. The programme is funded in the general framework of 2014-2017 Programme Cooperation Agreement between UNESCO and the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida).
