Partnership for Higher Education in Africa

The Partnership for Higher Education in Africa (PHEA) "is a joint project of Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Kresge Foundation. PHEA represents both a belief in the importance and viability of higher education in Africa and a mechanism to provide meaningful assistance to its renaissance."

"On September 16 2005, the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan joined the Presidents of the Partnership foundations at the relaunch of the Partnership in announcing a $200 million commitment by the foundations over the next five years to further strengthen higher education in the selected African countries."

"Between 2000 and 2008, the Partnership foundations contributed an aggregate of $377,541,960 toward higher education initiatives in seven partner countries -- Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda -- and on an Africa-wide basis."
