2. Institutional University<br />
Cooperation<br />
- General principles -
<strong>IUC</strong> Programme : General Objective<br />
Empowering the local university as institution<br />
to better fulfil its role as<br />
development actor in society<br />
=> End goal is to « change lives »<br />
university cooperation for development sharing minds, changing lives
Main features of the <strong>IUC</strong> Programme<br />
o Long term cooperation geared towards institutional<br />
development and strenghtening<br />
o Financing and facilitating cooperation<br />
� Partnership<br />
� Match between the priorities of the partner university and<br />
the interest and expertise offered by Flemish counterparts<br />
� Coherent set of interventions/synergetic projects<br />
o Building capacity:<br />
• <strong>Academic</strong> (MSc/PhD education; research, publishing...)<br />
• Internal service delivery (ICT, Library)<br />
• External service delivery (services to society)<br />
• Managerial capacity (planning, HRD, international relations etc)<br />
university cooperation for development sharing minds, changing lives<br />
11
Institutional University Cooperation<br />
o Currently the major programme within VLIR-UOS cooperation =><br />
about 30% of annual budget<br />
o Budget:<br />
• variable depending on local needs and opportunities for<br />
cooperation; depending on the number of thematic projects<br />
which were recommended/approved;<br />
• Annual budgets of an <strong>IUC</strong> are differentiated<br />
– € 250.000 EUR/year for a mono-thematic programme,<br />
– if more themes/projects were included up to 560.000 EUR/year<br />
o The <strong>IUC</strong> Programme started in 1997 with 4 partners<br />
o Currently 14 ongoing programmes in Africa & Latin America<br />
o 7 Phase Out partners in Africa, Latin America and Asia<br />

A successful <strong>IUC</strong> programme<br />
• Spirit of partnership, dialogue and mutual respect;<br />
• Participation of high level academic leadership is crucial (decision making<br />
structures in the university)<br />
• Incorporation into local structures and systems (university,<br />
regional/national) �Ownership<br />
• Development Relevance => focus on changing lives (university and society=><br />
interaction with government, local development actors, society in general)<br />
• Content based on match between the priorities of the partner university and<br />
the interest and expertise offered by Flemish counterparts<br />
• Programme logic => grouping a coherent set of interventions/synergetic<br />
projects guided by the strategic plan of the partner university =><br />
interdisciplinary approach with focus on 1 or more expertise areas<br />

3. General principles NETWORK university<br />
cooperation
Characteristics of the NETWORK<br />
o A well-defined theme with obvious and high impact at the country level<br />
o Addresses nation-wide needs in the educational and research area<br />
o Less of a capacity building initiative, but the focus is more on multiplication of<br />
opportunities, extension and harvesting (post <strong>IUC</strong>)<br />
• CTU – Vietnam; UCLV – Cuba and ESPOL- Ecuador<br />
o Should focus on cross-institutional interactions<br />
• such as in inter-university curriculum development, joint degrees at Master and<br />
Ph.D. levels<br />
• Links with other networks<br />
• Links with Flemish universities<br />
o Co-funding should be included through the universities and other donors<br />
o Need for strong logistic and managerial support structures at level of the<br />
coordinating university<br />

Management framework of a NETWORK<br />
o Management in and mainly by the South<br />
• Coordination through a ‘coordinating’ or ‘Hub’ university (CTU-UCLV-<br />
ESPOL)<br />
o At least 3 other involved partner universities in the country<br />
o Flemish coordinator and North team of Network Advisors<br />
o Annual Budget : 250.000 EUR/year<br />
• Administrative overhead – management of the programme at level of the<br />
facilitator university<br />
• At least 50% of budget for actions at level of other universities<br />
o Planning phase: 6 years<br />
• Midterm-assessment after 3 years<br />
• Preparatory year (2012) – phase in / (pre-)formulation<br />
• Renewable depending on the evaluation<br />
university cooperation for development sharing minds, changing lives
A successful management structure<br />
• High level support from university authorities of the hub and other partner<br />
universities<br />
• Agreed upon, transparent, management structure (VLIR-UOS guidelines translated<br />
into partner specific management agreements) => management manual and<br />
procedures<br />
• Support structure – programme support unit – is put in place at the “hub”<br />
university and has a clear set of operating procedures under the leadership of a<br />
local Network Programme coordinator<br />
• Good Communication at all level: using the “common sense”, transparency<br />
• Respect for deadlines and agreements: timely submission of plans, reports,<br />
organisation of mobility and procedures for purchase of goods<br />
• Common focus/group spirit => focus on common development goal & key result<br />
areas<br />
• Include stakeholders early in the process but be realistic in planning of extension<br />
results=> gradual process but important to know what lives in society in order to<br />
work towards results with societal benefits => multi-stakeholder platforms<br />

4. Next steps in the formulation process
Next steps<br />
o Nomination of Flemish coordinators, project leaders and<br />
Network advisers<br />
• Occured in May 2012<br />
o Identification to formulation<br />
• Preparing for Formulation Missions<br />
• Start Year « 0 » => Pre-Partner Programme agreement<br />
– organisation of formulation mission – August - September 2012<br />
– installation of a Programme Support Unit<br />
– development of management procedures (operational, financial, ..) => <strong>IUC</strong><br />
Management Manual<br />
o Drafting proposals by 15 October 2012<br />
• During and following the formulation missions<br />
• What exactly ? =><br />
university cooperation for development sharing minds, changing lives 25
Formulation of programme / project proposals<br />
• Partner Programme (PP) phase I<br />
– Relevant for the coordinators<br />
~ Programme and contextual information<br />
~ Programme objectives/results<br />
~ Overall budget framework and overall plan (logframe)<br />
– Relevant for project leaders<br />
~ Project plan for 6 years (PP) / logframe based<br />
~ Project background/objectives/results/activities/budget<br />
• Each year Annual Planning and Reporting<br />
– Activity Programme (AP) : planning document.<br />
~ Y 1 limited extra info in view of 15 Oct. 2012<br />
– Annual Report (AR) => Oct year ‘X+1’<br />
• Annual Financial Report (AFR, excel formats)<br />
• Annual Activity Report (AAR, narrative format)<br />
university cooperation for development sharing minds, changing lives 26
Important elements for consideration<br />
o Concept notes that will be presented are proposals from the<br />
South and as such indicative or pre-match<br />
• Basis for formulation<br />
• there is room for change and improvement within the strategic<br />
boundaries (institutional, country strategic)<br />
• Flemish team and formulation mission with project level workshops<br />
will bring new input<br />
o Aim for and build upon a win-win concept!<br />
o Be receptive but dare to be critical and assist in shaping ideas<br />
jointly<br />
o There is a programme behind the project<br />
o Preparatory year is a learning process<br />
university cooperation for development sharing minds, changing lives
What is a Formulation mission?<br />
o Key moment in <strong>IUC</strong> start-up<br />
o Flemish teams (coordinators and project leaders) travel to the<br />
partner institute<br />
o One week workshop<br />
• Setting out the framework<br />
• PCM training<br />
• Introducing formats and management cycle<br />
• Project level workshops with external stakeholders<br />
• Project formulation and budget allocation<br />
• Sharing of management systems and policy framework<br />
o Expected results<br />
• Flemish PL have a better view on local situation<br />
• Team-building<br />
• Work on project proposals according to PP (partner programme) and AP (Activity<br />
Programme) formats<br />
– Prepared by the South, but first collective moment South-North<br />
