♦️ GOOD NEWS: Starford International University alongside 2 other private universities added to IGAD Membership

JUBA - The Board of IGAD Universities has added three private universities to its membership, increasing the total number of member institutions from eight to eleven.

The newly admitted universities are Starford University of South Sudan, the University of Africa in Sudan, and SIMAD University of Somalia. The institutions were selected through a ballot during a recent board meeting held in Juba.

The IGAD Head of Mission to South Sudan, Victoria Anib Majur, said only accredited universities qualify for membership in the forum.

She said the decision to include private universities was driven by the need for inclusivity, noting that accredited institutions interested in joining must formally apply to IGAD.

Majur explained that while the forum is open to accredited universities, the board remains a smaller body made up of the original eight founding universities and the three newly admitted members.

The Board of IGAD Universities contributes to the development of regional policies, strategies and frameworks in education, science and technology.
