Information for intake commencing 2011

Regional strategy
The New Zealand Development Scholarships (NZDS) scheme offers the opportunity to people from targeted developing countries to undertake development-related studies at tertiary education institutions in New Zealand.

New Zealand Development Scholarships are a central part of the New Zealand Government’s development cooperation programme in Africa. In the southern and eastern Africa region, NZAID offers NZDS in the Open category (NZDS-Open) to candidates from Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

By providing people with knowledge and skills to contribute to the sustainable development of key sectors in their home country, the NZDS scheme aims to reduce poverty, promote health, nutrition and improve rural livelihoods, and contribute to the human resource base of Africa. NZAID capacity building complements the work done in country by multilateral agencies and non-governmental organisations’ (NGO) projects.

Type, level and number of scholarships
Under the Africa Regional Programme, New Zealand offers NZDS-Open scholarships to individuals from Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The NZDS-Open is directed to public sector, private sector and civil society (including NGO) candidates who independently apply for a scholarship, and who meet the eligibility and selection criteria outlined below. Preference will be given to applicants from disadvantaged communities.

New Zealand Development Scholarships are awarded for full-time, postgraduate level study (i.e. Postgraduate Diplomas and Masters degrees) in New Zealand. Undergraduate degrees and Doctorates (PhD) are not offered under the Africa Regional Programme.

New Zealand will offer up to 14 NZDS-Open scholarships for the region, with as equitable a spread as possible across all five eligible countries, for study beginning in the 2011 academic year.

Priority sectors
For the 2011 intake, NZDS scholarships will be offered at postgraduate level for study in the development sectors of:
  1. health (particularly public health, primary health, HIV/AIDS, infectious diseases);
  2. nutrition; and
  3. rural livelihoods (including small and micro enterprise development).
