African higher education development and the international community Reports
This short paper outlines the African higher education (HE) development commitments and activities that have been initiated by major international partners between 2000 and 2004, with a particular focus on the G8 countries, but also including Scandinavian and Benelux partners. Projects are analysed by their thematic focus and by their regional focus in Africa, casting light on trends in donor country strategies and international trends. In detailing and comparing the thematic and regional strategies that each major external partner has followed in recent years, this paper provides insight as to how to help maximise HE support in a broader development context.
