As part of its capacity-building program for African stakeholders in the water, sanitation and hygiene sector, the African Water and Sanitation Association, with funding from USAID and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, awards research grants to African Master and doctoral's Students Young Professionals in Water and Sanitation. 

Each small grant, worth a maximum of 1,000 USD, will enable students to conduct research on topic or issues related to the water, hygiene and sanitation sector.

For the 2022-2023 academic year, following the call for applications and the selection process, 20 students from 16 African countries have just been selected to benefit from this scholarship.
