NUFU

NUFU supports cooperation between universities, university colleges and research institutions in Norway and developing countries.

The cooperation works in accordance with the needs and priorities of institutions in developing countries, and aims for the enhancement of competence within research and higher education at these institutions.

Co-operation programmes are carried out by the individual institutions. Central elements in the cooperations are:

• Long term commitments and agreements between the institutions
  
• Equality in partnerships
  
• Decentralised implementation of activities in cooperation programmes
  

The programme is now in its third 5-year period 2002 - 2006. Funds for the institutional cooperation is provided through an agreement between The Norwegian Council for Higher Education and The Norwegian Agency for Development (NORAD).
