Proceedings of RUFORUM Deans and Principals Meeting 2015

RUFORUM held a Principals/Deans Committee Meeting in Khartoum, Sudan from 8-10 June 2015. The purpose of the meeting was to provide an opportunity to consult with Deans/Principals of African schools of agriculture and agricultural related sciences from the 46 RUFORUM member universities to provide input on RUFORUM programming. Specifically, the meeting was organized to give member universities the opportunity to improve the draft Strategic Business and to draft its implementation plan to be finalized during the Deans’ Meeting to be held in Namibia in August 2015. The meeting also engaged member universities on the World Bank International Development Assistance (IDA) supported African Higher Education Centers of Excellence as well as Erasmus+ funded by the European Union. In line with the RUFORUM vision, the meeting provided opportunity for enhancing collaboration within the network while supporting the development of competitive regional bids.
