Department
of Sociology, University of Peradeniya (Sri Lanka)
I wish
to get involved in a program where the members of the academic
faculty of our department could obtain some training in teaching
methods and capacity building in the areas of sociology and
anthropology. We have changed into the American system of
education (course unite system) recently and it is a new system
without much experience for most of the faculty. Also, 80
percent of the faculty did not have an exposure in the United
States or in the west, and therefore their capacity for teaching
and research is somewhat limited. I wish to get them exposed
to a U.S. university system at least for one semester each
in order to develop their capacities. I am thinking about
7 persons.

main impediments for sustainable livestock development in

some ad--hoc or need based treatment regimen of parasite infected
animals. In recent years, various alternative control means
are being practiced elsewhere in the world with emphasis on
ethnoveterinary/ plant medicine. Therefore, to explore that

Sokoine
University of Agriculture (Tanzania)
The Department
of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness desires to collaborate
with an American University that has the expertise and long
experience in the field of entrepreneurship, particularly
in agribusiness planning and management. The partnership is
aimed at assisting the department in:
- training local staff
- teaching agribusiness courses to undergraduate
students
- developing an MBA curriculum
- establishing a planned Business Centre
aimed at offering short courses in business planning and
management to the private sector in the country.
Tanzania
is currently in the transitional stage, moving from a centrally-planned
to a market-oriented economy that gives the private sector
top priority in running and managing the economy. Unfortunately,
business training in our education institutions is lacking
but is very essential for the market economy to have the expected
impact. The collaboration is expected to enable the department
to build the needed capacity and ability to meet the nation's
objective of getting qualified manpower in business planning
and management essential for managing its economic activities.

The University of Lubumbashi
(Democractic Republic of Congo)
The University of Lubumbashi is dealing, since
the colonial period, with a Reference Hospital where most
outstanding Professors and researchers of the Province work
in close relation with the Faculty of Medecine. However, since
the nineties the multidimentional crisis known by the country
(Congo, DRC) has made it difficult to sustain all efforts
especially directed to two units situated in very poor municipalities:
Ruashi and Katuba. The environments represent a lot of interest
in medecine. Because of extreme poverty, the two municipalities
are largely exposed to different subequatorial diseases which
are otherwise "cured" traditionally with the help of roots
and witchcraft doctors. Such a situation leads often to quarrels
and to issues which impoverish more and more the very poor
population. The two municipalities which are at two different
ends of Lubumbashi Town constitute two important fields of
propagation of AIDS. Drivers of trucks coming from southern
countries, transiting in Zambia have there opportunities of
meeting female partners at very low prices. In addition, the
environment still recognizes the African custom which gives
a person the obligation of succession as far as wives are
concerned. Finally, the two places are considered peaceful
and cheap by those who work in town. Consequently, the rate
and risk of AIDS are very high.
We are searching for a partner to lead some
studies and research (and if possible medical personnel may
also benefit of trainings). By the same token, the two units
will have means for dealing in a more humanly acceptable way
with medical care of the population.
