About INISA

Initiative Southern Africa (INISA) is a German Non-Governmental Organisation founded in 1995 with the mission to inform the German public on political, economical, social, and cultural developments in Southern Africa to create interest, deepen understanding and enhance contacts and exchange between Germany and Southern Africa. INISA is entirely independent and non-partisan, funded through membership fees and donations. Our members are country experts, researchers, students, and interested lay persons from both Germany and Africa who all share a common interest in Southern African affairs.

Initiative Southern Africa believes that tertiary education aiming at professional academic excellence and critical social engagement is vital for the development of African states and their societies. Taking into account the numerous obstacles African students are facing in pursuing their studies, many of them related to a lack of finances, INISA offers a grant award for students from Southern Africa.
