The aim of the project is to optimally prepare university graduates in Africa for the labour market through practice-oriented teaching and research. Another focus of the project is the promotion of entrepreneurship and SMEs. The project gives German companies the opportunity to carry out market research in Africa.

There is also a student exchange programme between the three partner universities. H-BRS students can spend up to four months in Ghana or Kenya in cooperation with a German company as part of their final thesis (Bachelor and Master).
