University strategies

'The objective of the initiative has been to enhance the capacity of African universities to develop strategies that will deliver graduates equipped to tap global knowledge resources and adapt and apply what they have learned in support of local and regional development. In supporting the eight participating universities to develop their strategies, it is our hope that the underlying insights, the available evidence and the emerging expertise for well informed strategic decision making will help them anticipate, manage, explore and exploit the processes of globalization.'
