Program Collaborators
Participating Universities and Courses
The universities that have been selected in South Africa were historically reserved for black South Africans (except UNISA and part of UKZN), and they have undergone a major program of quality enhancement, which is continuing. In particular, each has made substantial progress in upgrading its IT infrastructure to a level that would support the IADP pilot program. The selection of the universities in other Southern African countries reflects the relative quality of their IT infrastructure, as well as existing connections and the potential for collaboration.
