In a strategic move to position The Gambia at the forefront of scientific innovation in Africa, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology, MoHERST, has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, AIMS.
The agreement, signed during the official visit to AIMS Senegal, lays the foundation for establishing an AIMS Satellite Centre in The Gambia, with a long term vision of evolving into a full fledged AIMS Centre of Excellence.
BUILDING A PIPELINE FOR AI AND DATA SCIENCE EXCELLENCE
This partnership is designed to catapult Gambian capacity in critical twenty first century fields. Key components of the collaboration include:
Advanced Training Access: Gambian students and lecturers will gain enhanced access to AIMS’s world class postgraduate programmes in mathematical sciences, data science, and artificial intelligence, not only in Senegal but across the AIMS network in Rwanda and South Africa.
Local Capacity Building: AIMS will support the training and professional development of Gambian university lecturers and secondary school teachers in mathematics and related fields.
Joint Research and Innovation: The MoU paves the way for collaborative research projects, shared access to datasets and technological resources, and support for innovation and incubation in The Gambia.
Path to a Centre of Excellence: The initial satellite centre will serve as a nucleus for high level training and research, with a clear roadmap to grow into an autonomous AIMS Centre, positioning The Gambia as a regional leader in advanced STEM education.
Professor Faal and Professor Sam Yalla of AIMS Senegal welcomed the partnership, emphasising the power of South South cooperation in building Africa’s knowledge economy. For MoHERST, this agreement is a cornerstone of its strategy to develop a resilient national STEM ecosystem and empower Gambian youth to solve complex local and global challenges.
