2023 Africa Plant Nutrition Scholarship Program for African
Students.
The Africa Plant Nutrition Scholarship Program seeks to
support African graduates in science fields related to plant nutrition and the
management of nutrients applied to crops. Intending applicants must be
attending a degree-granting institution located in Africa.
The African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) was created in
March 2019 as a not-for-profit Moroccan Association. APNI’s founding staff
includes 20 multinational scientists located in four offices. The headquarters
is co-located on the campus of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in
Benguérir, Morocco. Other offices are placed in Nairobi, Kenya; Yamoussoukro,
Cote D’Ivoire; and Settat, Morocco to serve the needs of continental Africa.
APNI staff possess years of experience in research and
development work directly in Africa as well as other regions. APNI evolved from
the former International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI), which was a global
research and education organization working across the Americas, Asia, Africa,
Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Oceania
At the core, APNI has the mandate of developing and promoting
the sustainable management of plant nutrients, thereby contributing towards the
Green Revolution in Africa. To accomplish this goal, APNI addresses the major
soil fertility, crop production, and food security challenges across the
continent.
