Co-Creating Models for Africa with Africa

The University Design Institute at Arizona State University is a trusted design partner for higher education transformation. UDI has worked with more than 140 institutions in 26 countries, including seven in Africa. UDI partners with institutions, systems and countries around the world to help them reimagine, redesign and rebuild higher education in ways that enhance student success, workforce alignment, and community impact. 

Our role is to convene, connect and contribute expertise while supporting African institutions in learning from one another and co-designing solutions that reflect their own priorities.
