Project description
Mulungushi University was established in 2008 by the Zambian government as the country's third public university with multi-level curricula and fee-paying admission.

Objectives
This project will support the Mulungushi University to:
- enhance MU’s capacity to develop and deliver quality training and teaching;
- enhance research capacity and improve the delivery of quality services for sector and national development;
- strengthen capacity within the university for sustained identification, development, and implementation of attractive and relevant programmes which are in high demand on the labour market;
- strengthen organisational, strategic management and leadership capacities to help it become a self-sustaining public university.
