The project will fully support the training of 11 PhD students in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Mathematics Education. The PhD students will be recruited and trained on the existing local curricula at Makerere University and University of Dar es Salaam. Some of the curricula will be reviewed to help incorporate some of the project areas of focus. The PhD students will be supervised by local, regional and Norwegian supervisors.
