The 23 presidents/vice-chancellors, principals and deans are from highly ranked African universities that are offering academic programs in agriculture, engineering, science and technology. Weeks and Dr. Kanyama-Phiri, stressed that the founding spirit of the organization was to promote networking among universities on the continent.
