ASSOCIATION OF AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES
MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP (MADEV II)
Mzumbe University, Tanzania
1 - 14 March 2009
The Association of African Universities (AAU) is pleased to announce the second edition of its Management Development (MADEV) Training Workshop to be held in collaboration with Mzumbe University in Morogoro, Tanzania 1 -14 March 2009.
The AAU Management Development (MADEV) Workshop series is a new addition to the AAU’s Leadership and Management Programme and a follow-up to the Association’s Senior University Management (SUMA) Workshop Series, which ran from 1991 to 2003. The current series forms part of the AAU Capacity Development Project for the Revitalisation of African Higher Education Institutions (AAU-CADRE), funded by the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) and is aimed at enhancing the professional skills of managers of higher educational institutions by equipping them with management skills and knowledge that will help them appreciate the environment in which they are operating and effectively use resources at their disposal towards the achievement of organizational goals. MADEV targets Pro/Deputy Vice Chancellors, Vice Rectors, Deans, Deputy Deans, Directors/Coordinators of Institutes and Heads of Academic Departments. This will be achieved through intensive participant interaction over carefully selected case and other material, and lead lectures, in a process facilitated by eminent Resource Persons.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Participants are expected to have experience in operating at a strategic level in an African higher education institution or other comparable organisation, and personal commitment to further learning, career development and progression at the most senior levels. Although MADEV generally targets newly appointed Pro/Deputy Vice Chancellors, Vice Rectors, Deans, Deputy Deans, Directors/Coordinators of Institutes and Heads of Academic Departments, holders of these positions who are in their first term of office as well as persons who are aspiring to these positions, are free to attend.
