East Africa: Comesa to Establish Virtual University

The stage is set for the establishment of a COMESA Virtual University that will work with a network of universities in a collaborative initiative aimed at enhancing the generation and dissemination of research related to regional integration. The institution will incorporate an Academy of Science, Technology and Innovation as well as Research Networks.

The decision was made yesterday by the COMESA Council of Ministers in its 34th Meeting at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Abeba. The Council directed the operationalization of the plan for the establishment of the virtual university which will progressively transform into a permanent autonomous University to be launched in October 2015.
