Abstract:
Uganda’s collaboration with RSIF: Uganda has been officially invited to join PASET, the
African government-led initiative to accelerate the
building of skills in applied sciences, engineering and
technology from upper secondary/technical/vocational
training to higher education, scientific research and
innovation.
The potential of Uganda’s innovative expansion due to
investment in RSIF is multiplied when leveraged by the
funds through matching support from various donors,
including the Government of Korea, international partner
institutions and others. By contributing to RSIF, Uganda will benefit from joint
resource mobilization with other countries and capacity
building for PhDs and research and innovation far into
the future. PASET aims to mobilise over USD 500 million
into the RSIF permanent fund, with an estimated 20%
to be allocated to research and innovation projects for
the benefit of citizens and institutions of participating
countries. Many African countries are interested to be
part of this.
