Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA): Academic Staff Mobility Policy Framework

Abstract

The Staff Exchange Programme is a strategic intervention for enhancing sharing of human resources among universities in the region, and for the promotion of regional integration. The Programme aims at strengthening inter-university cooperation through academic mobility and enhancing quality of teaching and research in university institutions in East Africa. It provides university institutions with experts in fields of study that may be lacking in the host university as well as availing opportunity to visiting lecturers to gain experience from the hosting institutions, and hence enhancing their career development. A modest amount of money within IUCEA annual budget is normally allocated for the programme.
