Based in Nairobi, Kenya, the International Centre for Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), is the first African institution to join the TWAS South-South Fellowships programme.

Under the new agreement, ICIPE has agreed to host a number of postgraduate, postdoctoral and visiting scientist fellowships each year. ICIPE also joined the TWAS-UNESCO Associate scheme, which allows researchers from developing countries to visit the institution twice in a three-year period.
