Agreements with
universities in
Africa and abroad
Positive progress
As a result of new agreements,
there was an increase in the
number of graduates and
mobility arrangements from
the rest of Africa. The period
was marked by Universities
Science, Humanities, Law
and Engineering Partnerships
in Africa (USHEPiA – a
partnership of African
universities, first established in
1996) shifting to a self-funding
model, closer cooperation
between consortium members
in various fields, and an
increase in postgraduate
students from the rest of
47
Africa. University-wide
initiatives implemented during
this period include the Africa
Regional International Staff/
Student Exchange (ARISE),
Postgraduate Academic
Mobility for African Physician
Scientists (PAMAPS) mobility
grants, the MasterCard
Foundation Scholarship
Program, and international
collaboration projects with
the Department of Higher
Education and Training. In
addition, there were numerous
departmentally based
partnerships. The Confucious
Institute was launched, as was
the annual Winter School, run
jointly with the London School
of Economics.
