There should be increased focus on assistance through budgetary support, donor cooperation, and institutional collaboration, says the officially appointed working group in its report to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). Higher education and research should in larger degree be used as a means to support thematic priority programmes. The working group stresses that Norwegian aid should be long-term, predictable and based on growth rather than reallocation of already limited funds. It sees budgetary room for allocating more funds already from next year. |

A central concern of this project is how these institutions have changed over time and how they have been used in response to a variety of colonial, post-colonial and globalizing pressures.
