The project aims to strengthen higher education stakeholder relations in Africa to improve university programs in the region. The objective is to ensure that the Association of African Universities (AAU) and African universities are better placed and able to work with external stakeholders, governments, the private sector, and donors. Up to 27 African universities are benefitting through the development of improved methods and strategic plans, enabling them to better collaborate with external partners and to respond to local, national and regional economic development priorities. The project is managed by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) in partnership with the AAU.
