DAAD is represented around the world through its lecturer’s programme, regional offices and information centers: In Kenya, other than the Regional Office for Africa, with a lecturer for German each at the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University in the capital Nairobi as well as with a language assistant at Pwani University in Kilifi; and in Uganda with a lecturer for German at Makerere University in Kampala.

DAAD finances the lecturers in the fields of teaching German as a foreign language, training professors, German affairs, linguistics and the science of translation.

In addition to language teaching at universities, they also provide valuable information on study opportunities, scholarships and scientific exchange in general. Therefore, DAAD lektors are often the first point of contact for students and academics interested in a stay at a higher education institution in Germany, and are thus a valuable link between Mexican and German universities.
