The Centre for Capacity Development in Africa was first launched as the Africa Centre for Scholarship in 2017. In 2023, the University decided to refocus the mission and scope to a reformulated structure to be known as the Centre for Capacity Development in Africa in 2024.
The Centre through its partnerships:
- Collaborates with faculties and University support staff and external stakeholders to deliver capacity development programmes primarily focusing on target groups in the doctoral pipeline at Stellenbosch University, across Africa and beyond. African Doctoral Academy Website
- Supports the division and institution by providing research information on internationalisation policy, practice, developments and trends in International Higher Education in Africa to increase relevance and effectiveness of the division’s programmes and activities.
- Provides and supports services for international education and credentialling to increase access to higher education. SU Unit for International Credentialling Website
