In coordination with Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University, GBSN invites business schools from Africa and around the world to contribute to the emerging Logistics for Africa [web link] initiative, a Pan-African Logistics Education Hub.
The initial phase focuses on bringing institutional and faculty expertise together to co-develop an asynchronous, online graduate program in logistics designed to address the logistics and supply chain challenges facing Africa. The program will be supported and delivered through the Edinburgh Business School online learning platform, a world-class platform drawing on decades of experience in inspiring and empowering students globally through a flexible and accessible delivery model.
Opportunities to contribute include:
- Program Partner – Preference for African institutions with expertise in logistics, supply chain management or transport and ability to contextualize learning through local cases, examples, etc.
- You will work with the program design & technology teams to develop one or more courses for inclusion in the graduate degree program.
- Knowledge Partner – Institutions anywhere in the world who wish to contribute expertise, support course design, strengthen academic and professional networks, and make a difference.
- Delivery Partner – Institutions in Africa interested in providing local support to participating students [a Delivery Partner could also be a Program Partner]
Together, we will:
- Bring business schools across Africa together to support each other in resolving real world problems with sustained and measurable societal impact.
- Build communities of highly skilled logistics and transport professionals to meet the needs of health logistics, agro-logistics and other vital sectors across Africa
