The Difficult Art of Partnership and Institutional Commitment
Abstract
157 words
This paper looks at two aspects of institutional development in
a university setting. It looks at how the design of South – North
collaboration may have a bearing on the type of partnership
that evolves. And it addresses the issue of how institutional
commitment influences the depth and intensity of change
processes. The paper will firstly examine the underlying
assumptions that guide designs of South – North collaboration
and how both deliberate and unintended consequences may
influence the nature of the partnership between the involved
institutions, especially while evolving and expanding such
partnerships. The paper will also address the issue of institutional
commitment as the impact of partnerships to a large degree
depends on the breadth and depth of the institutional
commitment. The aim is to identify the essential elements of
institutional commitment in successful partnerships for
institutional change. Finally, it will provide recommendations
for best practise in establishing partnerships with institutional
commitment within the university sector.
