In collaboration with the University of Liverpool through the NIHR CLEAN-Air(Africa) Global Health Research Unit (www.cleanairafrica.com), the Centre for Behavioural Studies (CBS) at the University of Dar es Salaam is launching a call for a PhD scholarship application to be held at School of Economics, University of Dar es Salaam.

CLEAN-Air(Africa) is a multi-national collaboration among seven research institutions from the UK and sub- Saharan Africa: University of Liverpool (UoL, UK), University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Kenyan Medical Research Institute (KEMRI, Kenya), Moi University (Kenya), Douala General Hospital (Cameroon), Makerere University Lung Institute (Uganda) and Rwanda Biomedical Centre (Rwanda). Through this project, the Unit plans to implement a rigorous and diverse program of research and capacity building to tackle the global burden of disease from household air pollution (HAP) and accelerate adoption of clean cooking to address this burden under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) time horizon of 2030, focusing on developing and supporting strategies under SDG7 namely: “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA).
