Dr Ernest Molua is Awarded Visiting Fellowship to Makerere University, Uganda and University of Pretoria, South Africa

On 12 January 2009, Dr Ernest Molua was awarded the Visiting African Scholar Fellowship to Makerere University in Uganda, from 1 March to 20 June 2009 and to University of Pretoria in South Africa from 1 July to 5 December 2009, under the CEEPA (Centre for Environmental Economics and Policy in Africa) African Scholar Programme. Under this programme, African scholars working in Universities in Africa are funded annually, to enhance teaching and research capacity in environmental economics and to help sustain the staff development and to contribute to creating an environment in which retention of staff within participating departments is enhanced. The fellowship is used to support faculty members who wish to use a study leave away from their home institution. Fellows may spend a visiting residency at University departments in the continent or international centres of excellence.

CEEPA, which is housed at the Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the University of Pretoria, is mandated to enhance the capacity of African researchers to conduct environmental economics and policy inquiry of relevance to African problems and sustainable development. Under funding from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada and the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA), CEEPA implements the Visiting African Scholar Fellowship.

Dr Ernest Molua is expected to achieve a significant advancement in his teaching and research abilities during the residency period and contribute to supporting teaching, research and supervision of students’ thesis research activities at Makerere University and University of Pretoria. The fellowship programme provides financial support to Dr Ernest Molua for a full nine months residency period. Additional expenses cover a round trip air travel as well as an all inclusive stipend per month. © The Entrepreneur Newspaper 2009. All Rights Reserved
