Eight African countries, including Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau and Sao Tome and Principe, will receive funding for 16 scientific research and technological development projects over a three-year period. The selected projects, which result from existing initiatives and ongoing collaborations between Portuguese and African scientific and academic institutions, are aimed at increasing the Quality of Life programmes in Portuguese-speaking African Countries (PALOP). The projects were presented at the Ismaili Centre in Lisbon, during the Diamond Jubilee of His Highness, attended by the Portuguese Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education, Manuel Heitor, and Nazim Ahmad, Diplomatic Representative of the Ismaili Imamat in Portugal.
