SNU and the University of Rwanda Sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

Kigali, Rwanda: Somali National University (SNU) and the University of Rwanda have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation in higher education, research and academic capacity development.

The agreement was signed by Prof. Dr. Fuad Mire Hassan, Deputy Rector for Planning and Development of Somali National University, and Dr. Raymond Ndikumana, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Strategic Planning and Administration of the University of Rwanda.

The aim of this cooperation is to strengthen academic collaboration between the two universities, focusing on carrying out joint research, exchanging knowledge and experience, developing the skills of academics and students, and raising the quality of higher education.

The agreement also supports the efforts of the Federal Government of Somalia to advance peace education, strengthen national reconciliation, promote social cohesion and build generations raised on the values of peace, tolerance, coexistence and responsible citizenship.

The agreement resulted from strategic discussions and meetings held in Rwanda by a delegation led by Prof. Dr. Fuad Mire Hassan. The delegation also included officials from the Ministry of Interior, Federal Affairs and Reconciliation, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education, and the National Commission for Higher Education.

This agreement marks an important step in strengthening academic cooperation in the African region and in expanding opportunities for education, research and sustainable development from which both countries will benefit.
