IUC with Can Tho University (Vietnam)

A solid basis has been laid for ensuring the results and effects aspired for by the end of the programme period in terms of institutional strengthening of Can Tho University and its potential contribution to and impact on sustainable socio-economic development of the Mekong Delta region. With the IUC programme now having come to an end in 2008, these overall objectives have been basically achieved to the satisfaction of all stakeholders concerned. Phase 2 of the IUC programme actually constituted a consolidation of what was achieved in the first phase, with making more optimal use of the enhanced infrastructure and equipment and in first instance of the strengthened human resources capacity for the successful achievement of the programme’s objectives related to teaching and research performance, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
