As Africa strives to address socio-economic challenges and achieve sustainable growth, the transformation of the continent’s higher education institutions (HEIs) to drive innovation, address sustainable development goals (SDGs), and empower future generations becomes increasingly critical.
Under the broader theme Shaping the Future of Higher Education for Innovation and Sustainable Development of Africa, the 16th Quadrennial General Conference of the Association of African Universities (AAU) holding in Rabat, Morocco from 7 – 11 July 2025 is set to achieve three main objectives, namely:
1. Enhancing access and equity in higher education to reduce barriers to entry and improve retention rates;
2. Fostering research and innovation ecosystems by providing funding and support for innovative projects that address local and regional challenges; and
3. Integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into curricula and institutional practices to ensure that education contributes to sustainable societal transformation.
