"The establishment of Centres of Excellence (CoE) for training future executives and managers in Sub-Saharan Africa is a pillar of the German Academic Exchange Service’s (DAAD) new programmes for Africa. Its goal is to significantly raise the quality and relevance of education in selected fields at African universities, to expand research capacity and promote networking among African universities, research institutions and German partners. In this process, the promotion of future leaders in different fields of society plays a special role.

The new centers should provide them with an up-to-date training corresponding to international standards of quality. At the same time, the centres shall create an environment that is conducive to research and offers favourable preconditions for international cooperation. The aim is that each centre develops its own impact in the region and beyond, develop a supra-regional influence. The centres are to network with one another and work on cross-cutting issues (in research, teaching and management)." (DAAD)

In this context, Frankfurt School has been chosen by the DAAD to establish the Congolese-German Centre for Microfinance in collaboration with the Université Protestante au Congo (UPC)
