Section 2: SWOT Analysis of the Institution/Proposed ACE

Briefly provide a SWOT analysis of the proposal using the table below:

Strengths

Weaknesses

Opportunities Strategic question: which opportunities

can be explored through the strengths of

the institution/proposed ACE?

Strategic question: which

opportunities may help overcome

weaknesses of the

institution/proposed ACE?

Threats Strategic question: how can the

institution/proposed ACE use its

strengths to reduce its vulnerabilities?

Strategic question: to which

threats is the institution/

proposed ACE particularly

vulnerable and how can it

overcome these?

Guidance: The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that arise from internal and external

factors: government policies, industry needs, international best practices. This should be an analysis

at the institutional level (host institution).

7

Section 3 Development Challenge and Objectives of the Proposed ACE .

1. Briefly state the development challenge that the proposal is designed to address in your

institution.

Guidance: Describe the importance of the development problem

2. Describe how this proposal if funded would contribute to addressing the development

challenge

Guidance: In the description kindly keep in mind expected results from the project, notably

describe how graduates, applied research and outreach/collaboration proposed will

address the development challenge. It is very important that there are clear and logic

causality between stated challenges and suggested actions to address these challenges.

3. Describe the role of partner institutions in successfully addressing the development

challenge, jointly with and under the guidance of your own institution.

It might be useful in assessing partnerships to use the sorting matrix below:

Category/type of

partnership

Key Partner Partner Associate Partner

Advanced knowledge institution

Private sector national

Private sector international

Peer universities national

Peer universities regional

Peer universities international

Research institutions national

Research institutions regional

Research institutions

international

Others

Be sure that you clearly define what you mean by the different types of partnerships. The different

types of partnerships are as follows:

A Key Partner is one that brings added value to the program, helps to define the partnership

goals, benefits from budget allocation and contribution, and is involved in decision making.

A Partner is one that brings added value to the program but does not necessarily get financial

benefit e.g. industrial partner

An Associate Partner is a community partner that helps in the implementation of the

program, e.g. outreach program partner.

What do you expect from each partner? What can they expect from you as the host institution?

How/to what degree will you involve them in decision making? Are Key Partners represented in

your governing bodies? Will Key Partners be invited to the annual meetings and will you cover the

cost? Can Partners and Associate Partners participate in annual meeting as observers at own cost?

8

4. All decisions, except the initial screening, should to the degree possible, be discussed and

agreed upon with the partner in question.

5. Describe existing similar centers of excellence in your country or in neighboring countries

with the same objective (if any)

Guidance: Describe (i) initiatives by other higher education institutions in Eastern or

Southern Africa that train people and perform research within the proposed areas and (ii)

to which degree are these institutions part of the proposal?

6. Describe how your Center’s proposal fits into (i) your Institution’s overall Strategic Plan,

(ii) your overarching/parent institution’s/line ministries Strategic Plan and (iii) your

country’s or regional organization’s Strategic Plan (attach Strategic Plans if and when

appropriate).
