Description: |
The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) has signed a $2 million agreement with CIDA for a partnership with the Association of African Universities (AAU). AAU will work in partnership with AUCC to strengthen its ability to support its member universities - external stakeholder relations and to strengthen its own external stakeholder relations. Both African and Canadian partner institutions are required to make a contribution of additional personnel time beyond the amounts funded by the CIDA contribution. The Case Study Partnership component of the program will focus on two key outcomes. The first
outcome will be the production of 12 case studies developed by African higher education
institutions in collaboration with Canadian experts on industry linkages. The second outcome
will be the selection of six model case studies from the 12 that were developed. The proponents
of the six case studies will share lessons learned from the development of these case studies at a
workshop where the six model case studies will be featured and subsequently disseminated to the
broader AAU membership. Letters of Intent require that Canadian and African institutional authorities sign and attest to their support for the Letter of Intent, including the required in-kind contributions. |
