Ethiopian Capacity Building Initiative (ECBI)
IDN's emeritus exchange program is a crucial component of Emory's Ethiopian Capacity Building Initiative, a partnership with Addis Ababa University (AAU). This program sends Emory emeritus professors to AAU to teach students, consult on curriculum, and offer ways to enhance academic capacity at all levels within the university. Moreover, it is a way to bring about face-to-face dialogue and promote increased learning with both administration and faculty at AAU. The goal is not only to enhance academic quality and course offerings at AAU, but also to engender new academic ties and collaborative research possibilities--something that enriches the Emory community as well as our African partners.
