Responding to new challenges and demands, there is need to build on existing knowledge within organizational networks to create new knowledge necessary for competitive advantage. This study focuses on knowledge creation by identifying the barriers and strategies to enhance it. Therefore, the purpose of the study is intended to investigate if demographic characteristics would influence academic staff views on knowledge creation, identify knowledge creation barriers and strategies or knowledge enablers required for its integration into the university system. Findings indicated that demographic characteristics do influence academic staff perception of knowledge creation which is important in the university system and could be enhanced through leT. The study identified barriers that should be removed and strategies to put in place to enhance knowledge creation in universities. Data analyzed showed that there is no significant difference between the views of academic staff in public and private universities.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • Enhancing the Standard of Legal Education in Zambia: Challenges and Prospects
    ENHANCING THE STANDARD OF LEGAL EDUCATION IN ZAMBIA: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS BY DR CHIPASHA MULENGA, LLD, AHCZ EXECUTIVE DEAN – SCHOOL OF LAW, UNIVERSITY OF LUSAKA, ZAMBIA ABSTRACT The core of legal education should be to prepare students for the different roles they will assume after law school. This seemingly modest idea, however, actually creates a daunting challenge as lawyers’ roles are multifaceted. Where there is little attention paid to legal education, the result is a deterioration of standards thereby affecting the quality of law graduates produced by legal education institutions. It has been asserted that the standard of legal education in Zambia has not attained the required heights but has, on the contrary, over the years, gradually deteriorated. This contention mostly centres on fundamental aspects that legal education institutions have not, over the years, been addressed. To address this perception, accreditation of schools of law has been introduced as a mandatory requirement. It is argued, with optimism, that accreditation could be a panacea. Regrettably, however, accreditation does not appear to fully ameliorate the present state of legal education in Zambia especially that the empowering statute is fraught with frailties. There are, however, some positive aspects which, if addressed properly, would spur legal education to greater heights. The article, therefore, argues that legal education in Zambia is under siege and if the situation remains unaddressed, it could eventually lead to the collapse of legal education, however, the situation is not beyond reprieve. KEYWORDS: Accreditation; Higher Education Authority; Legal Education; Legal Education Institutions; Zambia Institute for Advanced Legal Education. 1 INTRODUCTION Legal education has a fundamental part to play in society.

    Consortium of Universities for Global Health Annual Report 2017-2019 (Courtesy of UK Department for International Development) 1608 Rhode Island Ave., Suite 240 Washington, DC 20036 Page 1 Letter from the Chair of the Board and the Executive Director Dear Colleague, During these tumultuous times, the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) continues to grow, diversify, and expand its activities. This may reflect global health’s capacity to be the interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral platform needed to address the complex challenges the world faces. Non-communicable diseases, environmental degradation, climate change, new and old infectious diseases, weak governance, technology, inequality and demographic changes pose deep challenges to achieving a sustainable future for all. Over the last two years we secured four important grants which have strengthened our political engagement and training activities. Our committees and working groups continue to convene experts across the global health enterprise to address numerous challenges. We were very pleased to complete our Capacity Building Platform, an online portal which helps to connect institutions in low resource countries with trainers they may be seeking; we also built an open access, crowd sourcing site that connects research questions with researchers; we created new working groups on Planetary Health-One Health-Environmental Health; Palliative Care; Equity; and Humanities; and we collaborated with our members to hold global health events outside the US (our first was with American University in Beirut). Significantly, we changed our mission statement to reflect our collective efforts to improve the health of people and the planet. Our membership continues to grow, with new members joining CUGH from every region of the world.

  • How Should You Choose Between Zambia and South Africa for Your Medical Education?
    How Should You Choose Between Zambia and South Africa for Your Medical Education? Medical Education: An Overview Medicine tops the most in-demand professions list for its demand, honor, fanciness, high pay, and so on. There is a dire shortage of doctors across the globe, especially in African countries. Since the demand does not match with the supply in such countries, the respective governments have taken various initiatives and awareness to make students take medicine as their profession. Getting a medical admission in their native country may not be possible for everyone. Or students may have a concern about the quality of medical education in their native place. In such scenarios, students choose to study medicine abroad. It becomes a big challenge for students to choose the best country to study medicine in Africa due to the scarcity of information available for the students to make the correct and timely decision. Here we have discussed in detail how and why you have to choose a country and university to study medicine. Keep going! How to Choose a Country to Study Medicine in Africa Demand for doctors in African countries is huge. There is only 1 doctor for 10,000 people now, and it is expected that the shortage will reach 4.3 million by 2035. Respective governments must take proactive initiatives to meet that demand. This demand can also be met in just 10 years if a greater number of African students take up medicine as their career. The standard of medical education has been improved over the years in African countries, especially in Zambia and South Africa.
