Sub-Saharan Africa
The main focus for our involvement in encouraging greater engagement between England and sub-Saharan Africa educational institutions came from recommendations from the 2005 Commission for Africa report and the G8 Gleneagles Summit and, more recently, from other pledges such as the Prime Minister’s MDG Call for Action on growth and development in sub-Saharan Africa. The 2005 Commission for Africa is due to be reviewed by Heads of State in September 2010.
To engage in wider government initiatives and enable greater international participation and knowledge in our own educational institutions, we focus mainly on developing mutually beneficial partnerships between Higher and Further education institutions in England and Sub-Saharan Africa.
