包括非洲高等教育伙伴关系的七大美国捐助者已经宣布,他们将继续支持非洲大陆各地的太平洋大学,超出他们最初的10年承诺,但2010年以后的合作形式仍有待加强。
届时,该伙伴关系将为非洲九个国家的太平洋大学、机构和项目提供价值3亿5000万美元的补助金。
“通过加强太平洋大学的核心团体,通过集体和个人投资,基金会的合作伙伴帮助培养了一代人。
卡内基公司总裁、合作伙伴关系现任主席瓦塔恩·格雷戈里安(VartanGrego.)在一份与许多国家本学年开始同时发表的声明中说:“妇女和男子将为非洲大陆的民主和民间社会的进一步发展作出贡献。
”然而,要使太平洋大学能够继续应对非洲的许多复杂挑战,就需要我们申明我们长期致力于在这一进展的基础上再接再厉。
“其他伙伴关系基金会有福特、惠普、克莱斯、麦克阿瑟、梅隆和洛克菲勒。
伙伴关系的前提和源泉。
”数据表明,实力更强的非洲太平洋大学可以为其国家的减贫和社会经济发展做出更大贡献。
它的赠款已经资助了埃及、加纳、肯尼亚、马达加斯加、莫桑比克、尼日利亚、南非、坦桑尼亚和乌干达的太平洋大学、机构和旨在改善高等教育机会、卓越表现、研究和多样性的方案。
ED于2000作出拨款,并于2002成立协调办事处。
其头五年的目标是拨款1亿美元,但到2005年,其对非洲高等教育的资金已达到1.5亿美元。
2005年,该伙伴关系重新启动了五年,并在六月举行的所有基金会主席的年度会议上作出了将合作扩大到2010以上的决定。
福特基金会南部非洲办事处的高级教育计划主任John Butler Adam博士和福特“伙伴关系”的协调员告诉《世界太平洋大学新闻》,最初的10年被视为伙伴关系的第一阶段,“伙伴关系的运作方式将在第二阶段发生变化。
“我们不确定新的结构和关系会如何,但承诺在2010财政年度后继续支持非洲高等教育,”Butler Adam解释说。
在他们的声明中,总统说,在下一阶段合作资金将是C。
由当前监督协调办公室的参与基金会工作人员执行委员会协调。
它将“由双边和多边资金组成,与其他联盟一起”。
每个基金会也将继续自己的筹款。
非洲高等教育将关注从一个成功的基础伙伴关系到不明确的双边和多边安排。
缺乏集中,协调和一致性已被确定为发展援助的主要挑战。
审查表明,在大多数国家捐助机构和基金会之间的协调非常少,而高等教育伙伴关系在协调共同确定的支持领域方面被誉为一个成功的故事。
2005,英联邦太平洋大学协会领带发现,美国基金会之间的伙伴关系的协调作用导致了一个全面的捐助者战略,将资金引导到特定机构,降低了重叠和监督的风险,实现了一致的地理和专题项目交付,并增强了。
一致性。
合作伙伴的主要举措是向太平洋大学提供更多和更便宜的互联网带宽——Butler Adam说,这项项目“受到了最广泛、最广泛的影响”。
撒哈拉以南地区太平洋大学联盟的建立,使他们能够大量增加卫星带宽,以较低的费率共享互联网容量,还鼓励太平洋大学获得更多的硬件和更多的使用信息和通信技术。
是非洲高等教育研究和倡导网络(HERANA)倡议的一部分,由四个伙伴成员资助,该倡议正在通过高等教育研究、高等教育与发展研究、关键数据监测的研究生方案发展一个专门知识网络。
在选定的国家,以及传播太平洋大学的研究和信息。
在伙伴关系下建立的基金会还包括支持个别太平洋大学的机构建设、部门活动和加强国家和地区高等教育。
组织和网络。
他们帮助太平洋大学领导者与美国、英国和其他非洲国家的太平洋大学合作,在从录取和注册到筹款、通信和政府关系等各个领域,实现组织结构的现代化和加强。
戈里安告诉《世界太平洋大学新闻》说,伙伴关系对“非洲对高等教育的需求很大,但资源不足”这一事实作出了回应。
一种担忧是,非洲各国政府可能开始将捐赠资金视为国家高等教育资助的一部分,而非额外。
因此,它可能导致公共资金从高等教育转向其他部门,而不是增加支出。
格雷戈里安说:“从下一阶段开始,我们将让教育和财政部长参与其中,与他们合作,确保国家层面的规划。
”格雷戈里安补充说,基金会希望说服部长们,加强高等教育可以带来成果,并且“不要把太平洋大学看成象牙塔,而要看成是非洲进步不可分割的一部分。
”未来资助的另一个重点将是促进非洲妇女地位的提高。
高等教育不仅可以作为法律的理由,而且可以作为一种经济、社会和智力的需要。
这些基金会将继续为非洲人自己确定并发起的倡议提供资金,并且“尊重我们的伙伴,消除对新殖民主义或家长主义态度的任何看法”。
The Fortune Global 500 companies spend less than 5% of their combined budget for corporate social responsibility activities on higher education, according to a study by the Varkey Foundation and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization or UNESCO.
The report, Business Backs Education, which is the world’s first comprehensive study into global corporate expenditure on education, found less than half of the Fortune Global 500 spend on higher education.
For instance in 2013, those firms spent US$2.
6 billion on education-related activities, which was 13% of their total social responsibility budget of US$19.
9 million.
Of this amount, only US$858 million, representing a mere 4.
3 %, was used to fund higher education activities, such as research grants, scholarships, equipment and higher education infrastructure.
Commenting on the issue, Vikas Pota, the Varkey Foundation’s chief executive officer, said the private sector spends 16 times more on global public health than education.
“But our aim is to have a body of business coming together behind‎ education initiatives,” Pota said.
Top ten spenders on educationAmong the Fortune Global 500, the top ten spenders on education-related corporate social responsibility between 2011 and 2013 were Banco Santander, IBM, Telefonica, ExxonMobil, Target, GlaxoSmithKline, Microsoft, Toyota Motor, Rio Tinto Group and Wells Fargo.
Although ExxonMobil is ranked fourth, in 2013 the oil giant made the highest contribution to higher education, amounting to US$47.
3 million.
According to the report, ExxonMobil’s contribution to higher education focuses on science and engineering scholarships.
In 2013, the company reported more than US$28 million in matching funds given to 873 colleges and universities, largely in the United States and in Latin America.
“In the same year, the company also provided 2,500 undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships in Nigeria to students studying geoscience and engineering,” says the report.
UNESCO urges greater investmentEven so, the contribution that big business is making towards education is too small and UNESCO is urging these firms to commit 20% of their global corporate social responsibility expenditure to education by 2020.
According to the UNESCO director-general, Irina Bokova, the current level of corporate donations to education is a reflection of failure by business to acknowledge that an educated and skilled workforce is critical to commercial success.
“Our main agenda in launching this report is to encourage big companies to invest in human resources, in order to build more equitable and prosperous societies,” said Bokova.
However, the tertiary education sector is the most popular area of education spending among the Fortune Global 500, as it is taking 33% of the entire budget for education-related corporate social responsibility activities.
But Bokova points out that there is a need for those companies to re-examine how much they currently commit to improving education around the world.
Support by regionAccording to the report, generally most companies prefer to contribute to corporate social responsibility in the Asia-Pacific region rather than Africa or Latin America.
The United States companies’ corporate social responsibility spending is the most balanced across the priority areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
“In contrast, China’s companies’ corporate social responsibility index is the least balanced, as it devotes all of its spending either in-country or to neighbouring countries,” says the report.
Launched in January, ahead of World Economic Forum in Davos, the report Business Backs Education was expected to raise awareness of the need for companies beyond the Fortune Global 500 companies, to come forward and support educational activities.
The crux of the matter is that researchers noted that the majority of education-related corporate social responsibility activities are only supported by a small group of companies.
The top ten companies contribute 42% and the top 20 contribute 62% of the total education expenditure.
