Portal on Higher Education/Research and Education For
All/related MDGs
|
Fall 2009
The Portal on Higher Education/Research and EFA/related MDGs, HEEFA (http://www.heefa.net/)
in short, is now available online.
HEEFA is an open access Portal to disseminate information of the work
being undertaken by higher education in EFA-related fields and to build
up a like-minded community. Visitors can search for projects and
experts, contribute by entering projects and enrolling experts,
subscribe to the HEEFA newsletter and participate in fora.
The uniqueness of this Portal is it attempts to raise awareness among
those working in higher education and all other interested stakeholders
(IO, NGOs, Ministries of Education, school administrators and teachers)
on the important role that higher education can play and is achieving
in EFA and related MDGs.
Launched at the World Conference on Higher Education +10, HEEFA has
thus far started off modestly. It includes some projects that experts
from the Reference Group have been engaged in. Designed as
collaborative tool, it relies on a grounds-up approach to develop the
Portal content and online community.
