Guides

This new publication celebrates DelPHE impact so far and shows how universities, individuals and communities benefit on the ground. Since the programme started in 2006 there have been 160 DelPHE projects funded so far. Projects cover a wide range of themes including civil engineering, climate change, gender equality, peace building, disaster risk management and water and sanitation. Partners continue to work with a wide variety of stakeholders at institutional, community and policy levels

These case studies provide real-life examples of how individual projects funded by DelPHE have been working in practice across a range of focus countries in both Africa and Asia, and a range of subjects, including health; education; agriculture; environment and climate; science and technology; economic development; governance and social science

This publication is a guide and overview of the EDULINK programme, with examples of its projects, which on average co-ordinate 5 HE partner institutions. EDULINK’s overall aim is to build institutional capacity in ACP universities. Among those covered are schemes which seek to strengthen leadership in East and South African universities, recognise the implications of globalisation, and support HE international relations offices

The main reason behind the preparation of this Guide by the Africa Unit, is the lack of knowledge about the scope, nature and depth of partnerships in this area. The Guide does not set out to present a set of universal, objective rules to be followed and which will guarantee success. Instead, it identifies 10 valuable 'principles of management and good governance' which have been the driver behind a number of successful and sustainable UK-Africa partnerships, which can inform future partnerships

A guide to assessing partnerships in the education sector. It is not focused on international links but is useful in drawing attention to some of the issues involved in establishing education partnerships in general, and reviewing their effectiveness and value. It includes, for example, a 'checklist for evaluating a partnership's strengths and weaknesses'

The SARUA Handbook 2009 is the first attempt ever made to present in one publication information regarding all state-funded public universities in Southern Africa.

This Framework explains the competencies that are needed for effective intercultural interaction, presenting and grouping them into four interrelated clusters.

The Global People objective is to provide knowledge and resources that will support those in the UK HE sector that work, or wish to work, in international collaborations. This report argues for the value of developing intercultural competence in order to better understand, create and manage productive and enjoyable partnerships with educational institutions outside the UK. Report draws upon examples in China, but aims to address intercultural issues that can affect any partnership

This Toolbook is designed for those who are planning and running international projects, and is based upon collaborations created between UK and Chinese HEIs around the development of e-learning materials. Although the main focus of the work is on intercultural effectiveness in international contexts with reference to China, we believe that many of the resources are useful for those planning collaboration in any situation–national, regional, sectoral or institutional, in any country

This tool kit was designed as a result of the report, A Review and Taxonomy: International College Partnership Models. It is intended as an aid to UK FE colleges in planning, developing, implementing and managing international partnerships, and its development has been informed by consultation with a range of UK colleges which have substantial experience in this area
