Descripción
These remarks were delivered by World
Bank Group President David Malpass at an event for the
Africa Higher Education Centers of Excellence : A Pathway
Towards Sustainable Development on October 17, 2022. He
congratulated the ACE centers, and their host institutions
and governments for working across borders to achieve
impressive innovative research outputs and the training of
the next generation of Africa’s scientists, engineers, ICT
specialists and teachers across the priority sectors of
education, health, agriculture, STEM, and environment. He
also thanked the Association of African Universities (AAU),
the Inter-University Council of East Africa, the French
National Research Institute for Sustainable Development
(IRD), the French Development Agency (AFD), and the
China-World Bank Partnership Facility. He said that the ACE
program offers regional specializations which are attracting
students, researchers, and industry from the entire
continent and enhancing regional integration in Africa. In
keeping with the focus on leveraging partnerships, last
month the World Bank entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding with six Historical Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs). He highlighted that the ACEs are a
great example of how building coalitions for change can help
to enhance tertiary education in Africa. He concluded by
saying that he looks forward to hearing about the innovation
and impact of the ACEs as he walks through the exhibition.
