This proposal focuses on migration and mobility as one of the key priorities addressed by the EU’s Comprehensive Strategy with Africa. By addressing capacity building in higher journalism education, the project will promote the quality of information and public discourse about migration and mobility in countries of origin and transit of migration towards Europe. Thus, not only HEIs and the media industry, but also societies at large will be impacted. The project is entitled Communicating Migration and Mobility – E-Learning Programs and Newsroom Applications for Sub-Saharan Africa. CoMMPASS will conceptualize a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) curriculum on media and migration for Sub-Saharan Africa HEIs. Thus, the project will support the highly needed digital transformation of higher education in Sub-SaharanAfrica (SSA). Six HEIs from three LDCs (Burkina Faso, Malawi, Uganda) will participate in the project, alongside 8 HEIs from further African countries as associated partners. The African Media Initiative will serve as an industry partner; the Media Challenge Initiative will ensure the students’ perspective throughout the project. UNESCO is among non-HEI partners. The CoMMPASS project will train 100 researchers and teachers at partner and associated partner HEIs, 380 students participating in pilot teaching of the MOOCs, and 250 practicing journalists. CoMMPASS will furthermore support sustainable regional networks by stipulating the establishment of an Alliance of African Journalism Educators (AAJE) and a Forum for African Journalism Students (FAJS). Major outputs will be the 14-module sets of MOOCs in four key languages for SSA (English, French, Portuguese, Swahili), the pilot teaching and a comprehensive multimedia stakeholder communication strategy aimed at key decision makers for journalism education in SSA.

DALILA project aims to support the modernization, accessibility and market-oriented of higher education in the Partner Countries in order to contribute to the development of sustainable and inclusive socio-economic growth (in addition to national ownership, social cohesion, equity, proper geographical balance and diversity). The main priority of the project is to enhance the capacities of the target higher education institutions (HEIs) in Tanzania and Uganda on Renewable Energy and Green Economy and to strengthen the connection of HEIs with local labor market demand for skills, giving to the new experts suitable competences to invest on the field with own business challenges.The project proposal aims to answer to the growing request of energy in both countries and to the new market job opportunities in the renewable energy sector in order to contribute to poverty reduction and to identify solutions and create more access and opportunity for all students.The main objective of the project proposal is to establish n. 6 new courses on “Renewable Technologies” and “Green Business creation and development” in 2 Universities in Tanzania and 2 in Uganda. The courses will be based on an innovative approach that includes the promotion of an equal access to higher education and the facilitation of students’ transition to work.
