As the 2024 East Africa Hub convening approaches, we spotlight the power of regional partnerships in driving institutional growth. A new paper by faculty from Kepler College, Rwanda, Rongo University, Kenya, and United States International University-Africa, Kenya, outlines a collaborative framework to enhance student employment outcomes in East Africa.

This framework emphasizes congeniality and collegiality, demonstrating how these principles have propelled the East Africa Hub to significant achievements. By analyzing successful initiatives like the Soft Skills and Career Development Program and the Systems Change Program for Employability, the paper reveals the transformative potential of collaboration.

Key findings include the challenges and opportunities in collaborative efforts, the effectiveness of the Education Collaborative model, and recommendations for wider adoption of these practices across Africa.
