Southern Africa: Online university could boost leather sector

13/08/2024
A proposed online university – the Southern African Development Community (SADC) University of Transformation – has earmarked the leather sector as one of its primary areas for research and investment.

A working group has developed guidelines for selecting centres of excellence and centres of specialisation that will be affiliated to the proposed university.

Alongside the leather sector, the SADC Industrialisation Strategy and Roadmap 2015-2063 has prioritised agro-processing, mineral beneficiation and pharmaceuticals, according to local press.

The establishment of the university complements the theme of the 44th SADC Summit hosted by Zimbabwe in August: "Promoting Innovation to Unlock Opportunities for Sustainable Economic Growth and Development Towards an Industrialised SADC".
