Abstract The purpose of this book is to explore the role of international higher education as a vehicle for Africa&rsquo - s current development trajectory. The basic premise is that higher education in general, and its international dimension in particular, can play a central role in strengthening and sustaining Africa&rsquo - s growth - particularly with respect to advancing progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Africa faces diverse challenges and higher education institutions have always been depended upon to provide solutions through research that has practical applications and relevance for social, health, economic, environment, education, and other key areas. Secondly, higher education is considered to be an effective way to develop human resource capacity through formal, informal and non-formal education and training programmes. Higher education institutions have a core mandate to establish close links with and serve local and national needs, as well as society at large
