This paper gives an overview on the implementation of joint
postgraduate degree training programmes being run by
RUFORUM, a consortium of 25 universities in the eastern,
central and southern Africa region. These programmes involve
joint training by faculty from different universities at a common
centre (lead university). The paper discusses some of the
challenges and opportunities encountered and clearly shows
that a new generation of competent, skilled and highly motivated
pool of young scientists are being trained to spearhead
agricultural development in the region.
