TRAINING WORKSHOP REPORTS
In 2007, the Working Group on Higher Education (WGHE) of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), in collaboration with the Association of African Universities (AAU), piloted two training workshops organized at the Universities of Ibadan in Nigeria and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to pre-test a Toolkit for Mainstreaming Gender in Higher Education in Africa. The beneficiaries of the pilot project have since conducted several down streaming training workshops for cross sections of their institutions (administrators, academic staff, students, professional groups and support units etc), using the Toolkit and also carried out monitoring visits and extended advocacy to other tertiary education institutions.

COREVIP PARALLEL SESSION
Report of COREVIP Gender Parallel Event
As part of efforts to scale up a pilot project on Mainstreaming Gender in Higher Education in Africa, the Working Group on Higher Education (WGHE) of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), with funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, organized a parallel event on gender at the Conference of Rectors Vice Chancellors and Presidents (COREVIP) of the Association of African Universities (AAU) held in Tripoli Libya in October 2007 on the theme: “The African Brain Drain - Managing the Drain: Working with the Diaspora”. The participants at the event commended the WGHE and recommended to the AAU to scale up the pilot initiative by disseminating the Toolkit widely and also raise funds in support of its members’ efforts to establish helpful processes and review their general institutional culture with respect to gender.
