The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) has partnered with the Virtual University of Senegal (UVS) to execute the Senegal Virtual University Support Project.
This project’s objective is to ensure equitable access to higher education for General Certificate of Education Advanced (GCE ‘A’) Level holders in Senegal and support their seamless integration into the professional world. As part of the UVS expansion project, 45 open digital spaces will be constructed, aligning with Senegal’s higher education reform plan.
The DBSA’s Transacting division has granted this initiative a €70 million sovereign loan. The project aims to foster progress and prosperity in Africa by granting students access to quality education and contributing to the country’s socio-economic development.
