IAU Capacity Building Project
|
Higher education needs to be drawn more effectively
into EFA strategies and activities and recognised as a concrete partner
in this process. Its expertise should be engaged and actively sought
out by Ministries, local educational administrative bodies,
nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), schools, etc. But higher
education also needs to see itself as a viable and invaluable partner
and to examine its own instruction, research and outreach activities
and how these could relate to EFA and related MDGs.
It is the IAU belief that information sharing and capacity building
activities could reinforce partnerships between higher education and
other stakeholders. It is for this reason IAU has designed this locally
driven capacity building project
which directly targets higher
education and research entities and a country’s key EFA stakeholders,
to involve them collectively in an intensive exercise of developing
concrete tools to strengthen higher education participation at the
local level.
The first two sessions are tentatively slated for early Spring 2010 in
Mexico and mid-2010 in Burkina Faso.
