Nkabom means “togetherness” in Twi, one of Ghana’s indigenous languages. As a result, the Nkabom programme of the French Embassy in Ghana aims to promote scientific collaboration between France and Ghana by issuing a call for proposals to support scientific collaboration as a prelude to a Franco-Ghanaian Hubert Curien partnership.
It is funded by the European and Foreign Affairs (MEAE) and Higher Education, Research, and Innovation Ministries (MESRI).
