As part of its evolving global Higher Education programme, the British Council in Sub Saharan Africa designed the Innovation for African Universities programme, a programme that promotes collaboration between Universities in the UK and SSA (specifically Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa).

In January 2021, we put out a call for partners to manage certain programme components and host the centre of excellence. After a rigorous selection process with over 30 applications received from a cross section of universities within the UK and SSA, we are happy to announce the selection of tripartite partners, University of Nairobi, City University of London and The Change School.

Over the next 18 months, we will work with these institutions to develop a network of collaborative partnerships which support an exchange of learning that foster an increased culture of entrepreneurship and innovation within universities across focal programme locations.

We hope that you will explore and participate in the various programme opportunities over the next couple of weeks and months.
