The grant contract signed by the University of Botswana (UB) and the European Commission (EC) "should be seen as one more contribution to the fight against HIV/AIDS," EC Delegation leader Paul Malin says.

The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of institutions of higher learning in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) regions to intervene effectively in national and regional issues of health and development. Its immediate objective is to support universities in the ACP regions in enhancing and accelerating their capacity to contribute to the HIV/AIDS response of their countries and regions.

The EC has committed P42 million as its contribution to the financing of the projects while, as a cost-sharing arrangement, the six participating institutions are collectively to contribute 1.44 million euros.
