linkage and better regional and international
coordination.
In September this year, a Call for Proposals wasadvertised in national newspapers in the participating countries. Subsequently, a hundred andten (110) proposals were submitted to AAU by
the higher education agencies of participating
countries consisting of new and renewal proposals (from existing ACEs).

These proposals were carefully reviewed byexperts in the various thematic fields of Health,
Agriculture, Environment, Social Sciences and
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics). Following the desk and remotepanel evaluations, 65 proposals were shortlisted,and onsite visits were undertaken to the higher
educational institutions which submitted them.

The goal was to find out more about the institutions in terms of their readiness and commitment to host the potential Centres of Excellence.
To finalize the process will be the selection of the
ACE Impact Centres of Excellence by the Project
Steering Committee at its meeting at the AAU
