ROLE OF UWI
The current development plan for The University of the West Indies (UWI) mandates increased global linkages as one of its primary objectives. In pursuit of this goal there have been three initiatives to date in the form of MOUs with the University of Lagos in Nigeria, University of Johannesburg in South Africa and the United States International University in Kenya. The natural extension of strengthened African-Caribbean relations is the linkage with the globally dispersed African Diaspora constituting “Global Africa”.
