Arsi University Welcomes EACEA Professors for MAINSTREAM Project Monitoring and Evaluation

On 24 February 2026, Arsi University hosted an on-site monitoring and evaluation visit for the MAINSTREAM Project under the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme (MOBAF 2023). The review was conducted by Prof. Huba Boshoff, an international higher education specialist, and Prof. Patricio Langa, Chair of the African Consortium of Higher Education Researchers, representing the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). The mission examined overall project implementation, institutional performance, governance structures, and student participation. University leaders, directors, deans, and the Institutional MAINSTREAM Project Coordinator presented key accomplishments, progress updates, and strategic priorities for the next phase. The program combined formal presentations, interactive discussions, and campus facility visits. The first cohort mobility students from Kenya and Togo also joined virtually to share their academic and intercultural experiences. The visiting professors recognized the University’s solid institutional capacity and dedication to high-quality international mobility, while providing constructive recommendations to enhance sustainability and deepen partnership collaboration in the forthcoming phase of the MAINSTREAM Project.
