- Do not count the WACCI MPhil in Seed Science and Technology (University of Ghana) or the Chuka University MSc in Plant Breeding (Kenya) separately; they are programmes inside this call.
- Note the expected spring 2027 calls (FUNAAB Nigeria, University of Cape Town, University of Pretoria) are not open yet and are not part of this entry.
