OSSREA-IPE Global Limited Sign a Memorandum of Understanding for Collaboration

The Organisation for Social Science Research in Eastern and southern Africa (OSSREA) and IPE Global Limited Ethiopia Office signed on Thursday the 8th of Dec. 2016 a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work in collaboration on areas of mutual interest.

In a signing ceremony held in the Meeting Hall of OSSREA, Dr. Truphena E. Mukuna, OSSREA Executive Director a.i. and Mr. Sunil Verma, IPE Global Limited Ethiopia Office Head expressed their optimism that both parties will benefit a lot working together in collaboration. As this alliance is forged between OSSREA, a well-positioned regional think tank with over 36 years of accumulated experiences in social science research, knowledge harvesting, dissemination and knowledge sharing and IPE Global, an international development consulting group, it is hoped to fetch them competitive advantages to bid for and successfully deliver big programmes that require public-private partnerships. To that effect, the two parties agreed that the MOU provides for, among others:

• Joining efforts and experience in bidding for big research and development programmes;
• Capacity building;
• Knowledge sharing and dissemination;
• Implementing projects/programmes of mutual interest; and
• Business development.

Affixing their signatures on behalf of their respective organisations, Dr. Mukuna and Mr. Verma announced that the MOU shall take effect starting from Dec. 08, 2012 and last for five years through Dec. 08, 2021.
