Purpose

The South African Partnerships Program makes possible partnerships between UM ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ faculty members and a number of institutions throughout South Africa, including historically disadvantaged postsecondary education institutions, governmental agencies and nongovernmental organizations.

Join the Program Now!

Eligible UM ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ faculty and staff are invited to apply. If you are interested in working with only the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ of Western Cape (UWC) in Cape Town, then you want to apply under the UM/UWC Faculty Exchange Program; this Partnerships Program is for collaboration with other institutions or for a multi-institutional collaboration that may include UWC.

ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ the Program

The Partnership Program has supported training for and/or research about:

• Teachers in writing, language and media literacy
• The role of sports in the lives of political prisoners on Robben Island
• Women painters as guardians of Ndebele culture
• Statistics
• Structural health monitoring
• Community development
• Wildlife management and conservation
• Science education

The program was initiated in 1996. Thus far, it has funded 85 faculty members from the UM ÐÓ°É´«Ã½'s four campuses.
