Nigeria Higher Education Dialogues: Funding and Sustainability
The British Council in Nigeria delivered a workshop on funding and sustainability in the Nigerian HE sector from 20 - 21 November 2018. The objective of the dialogue was to facilitate discourse between key stakeholders at practice level to support institutional level reform and best practice in the area of funding and sustainability. We worked with UK and Nigeria partners to improve understanding of the relationship and interdependencies between funding streams in the Higher Education Sector. It also enhanced the understanding of Nigerian HEIs on the development of governance practices and risk management processes that support a sustainable funding environment.
Our Higher Education Dialogues are a key component of our HE programme. These dialogues are facilitated conversations between governments, universities and industry, with contributions and fresh perspectives from our network of leading thinkers. By sharing international best practice and creating opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between policy makers, higher education institutions, businesses and industry, we influence whole-system reform to help improve learning.
We welcome expressions of interest from representatives of UK institutions to work on a proposal with selected Nigerian HE partner(s) and co-apply for a grant to support the Nigerian HEI implement its new funding and sustainability improvement plan.
Only Nigerian HEIs who attended the HE dialogue on funding and sustainability are eligible as partners. Please see the list attached and contact the programme manager for further information.
