GENERIC FUNDING RESOURCES/OPPORTUNITIES SA, AFRICA AND INTERNATIONAL -FROM CHAPTER 5 OF THE FUTURE OF AFRICAN MARITIME EDUCATION AND ECONOMIESThe TK Foundation presents another global source supporter of maritime education, especially for the World Maritime University. SPIN offer an international database with maritime related opportunities to search. Terra-Viva Directory specialise in climate change, marine science, environment, aquaculture, fisheries and related areas. Science without Borders, EMBO and IAMONET-RU, offer specific mobility grants or short-term fellowships which Africans could apply to. Individual curriculum focus sectors in Table 1, offer specific maritime-linked education, funding prospects from professional associations/societies as well as the aforementioned key stakeholders. The CLIVAR Network and West Indian Ocean Marine Science Association specifically concentrates on marine/ocean/coastal science related areas including the Harvard University Environmental Fellows Programme. the US Fulbright Fellowship, the Young African Leadership Initiative, Commonwealth Academic Fellowships; the Columbia Science Fellows Programme, Natural Environmental Research Council, Research Fellowship Scheme, Mandela-Rhodes, Beit and Canon Collins Trust. Other international options include Canada’s International Development Research Centre Scholarships, Regional Universities Forum, Graduate Teaching Assistantships and Turing Foundation Grants for Marine Ecosystems and Sustainable Land Use. Funds including Australia’s Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, OPEC and the Onassis Foundation could be used to promote more funding for other African’s to develop their own maritime capacity by initially participating in our courses, research and institutions. The International Foundation for Science fund those African nations whose per capita GNI is $4,886 or lessSANAP (South African National Antarctic Programme) and the National Research Foundation of South Africa (NRF) –the sole African country committed; but by SCAR.

Cambridge-Africa ALBORADA Research Fund and Royal Society offer research/travel and conference/workshop grants. African Capacity Building Foundation, African Development Bank, African Development Foundation, African Foundation for Development, Africa Grantmakers Affinity Group, African Women's Development Fund, African Youth Foundation, African Business Entrepreneurship Network, Arab Net, the Tony Elumelu Foundation and Association of African Universities present additional capital and contacts. The Network of African Science Academies, the International Council for Science; the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund, African Union Research Grants, the South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System (for maritime security) provide further credence that maritime applications and inspirations do not need to be silenced or discouraged. Existing sources require further publicity and techniques to ensure prospective applicants are not just squandering time and energy. mention MASMA grants. The University of Stellenbosch, African Doctoral Academy, African Economic Research Consortium, the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA), the Regional Initiative in Science and Education, the African Climate Change Fellowship Programme and Council for Development of Social Science Research in Africa all aim to enhance African backed research and education initiatives, which could further support maritime education.In South Africa, its National Research Foundation offer the majority of African originated research funding sources in contrast to foreign government endorsed scholarships advertised by the Department of Higher Education and Training or local (South African university) bursaries and the South African Technology Innovation Agency. This agency offers Commercialisation Support and Technology Development funds. NRF opportunities consist of Thuthuka Grants for emerging researchers, Professional Development Block Grants, postgraduate Innovation, Scarce Skills, DAAD, Priority research Areas, and general scholarships locally and abroad. The Foundational Biodiversity Information Programme, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Support for Unrated, Rated and Y-rated Research and European Research Council partnership offer alternative approaches to access maritime funding. Blue Skies Concepts Notes could be applied to any of the pioneering and emergent research areas advocated by this report in Chapter 3, if all other funding options fail.The Department of Transport and National Skills Funds offer bursaries but currently ignore the needs of Operation Phakisa and the maritime sector economy.Recent Non-NRF opportunities included Swedish scholarships, Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) Tech-I Competition, SEDA, SAMSA, Skills Development Agency and TETA grants. The Medical Research Council could favour maritime health if motivated, the Development Bank of Southern Africa/Industrial Development Corporation –maritime economics, trade and logistics, SANERI on ocean and marine renewable energy applications. SANSA are relevant to maritime applications of space science and astronomy. SANCOR offer International Travel Student Grants.As part of Operation Phakisa, the following funds have targeted aquaculture, maritime industry and other enterprise/skills development/pilot project initiatives. These include the National Empowerment Fund, Small Enterprise Finance Agency, Isivande Woman’s Fund, Khula SME Fund, Black Business Supplier Development Programme, Incubation Support Programme and National Youth Development Agency.
