SARUA’s Vision and Mission
The power of the network
SARUA’s purpose
Our Vision:
SARUA aims to be a dynamic and inclusive peer-led network that facilitates sustainable, evidence-based higher education impact in the SADC region.
Our Mission:
To foster collaboration, innovation and excellence through peer-led programmes and activities to support regional development and to navigate opportunities and challenges in a rapidly changing higher education environment.
In 2024, a comprehensive survey was conducted across member institutions to align a new strategic plan with the needs and expectations of higher education institutions in the SADC. The survey gathered input from various institutional leaders, including vice-chancellors, research fellows and coordinators, across eight countries, to ensure that the plan reflects diverse perspectives and regional priorities.
