The initiative to establish this regional university of excellence, led by Professor Daniel Ona Ondo, has received the support of all six CEMAC member states.
It was agreed that the University would be established in Equatorial Guinea, on the Djibloho campus, and supported by a network of satellite institutes and centres of excellence located across the various CEMAC member states. One of the University's principal objectives, together with those of its satellite centres, is to respond to the education, skills development and employment needs of young people in Central Africa.
As part of the feasibility study commissioned by the CEMAC Commission, FERDI developed a set of recommendations for the establishment of a Community Centre of Excellence (PEC) centred on the Afro-American University of Central Africa (AAUCA).
The study sets out an economic and institutional model designed to ensure the University's effective governance and long-term financial sustainability.
Building on these recommendations, the CEMAC Commission subsequently commissioned FERDI to develop a range of economic modelling scenarios that could be implemented directly by the key stakeholders, namely the Commission, its member states and AAUCA.
