Abstract

This report argues that to have a whole-system impact on HEIs in such areas as staff development, curriculum reinvigoration, research excellence and civil society linkages, interventions should be designed as broad programmes, not just projects. Within the programmes, specific projects should be instituted to address distinct stakeholder needs, at individual staff, students and entire HEI levels. For the latter, the programmes should leave a lasting legacy in form of innovative and enabling cultures, attitudes and skills on which future programmes must be built e.g. effort to make them more entrepreneurial. The report illustrates how to achieve these results using a British Council sponsored partnership development programme (NIMSERC) which involves theoretical and applied research in mathematics, statistics, economics, finance and related fields.
