DAFI

The DAFI (Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative) scholarship programme offers qualified refugee students the possibility to earn an undergraduate degree in their country of asylum. Through the dedicated support of the German Government, UNHCR and private donors, the programme has supported over 15,000 young refugees to undertake tertiary studies since 1992. The scholarship covers a range of costs, including tuition, fees, study materials, food, transportation, accommodation and other expenses.

DAFI Plus

In collaboration with UNHCR, the GIZ Refugee Management Support Programme developed DAFI Plus to complement the Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee initiative (DAFI), with the aim to connect current and past DAFI scholars as well as educated Afghan refugee youth in Pakistan with on-the-job training opportunities and provide them with digital skills trainings, thereby equipping them with marketable professional experience and skills to support a sustainable reintegration upon a voluntary repatriation to Afghanistan
