The Intra-Africa University Mobility Program encourages cooperation between African countries in higher education. It aims to promote sustainable development and ultimately contribute to poverty reduction by reducing the availability of a qualified professional workforce in Africa.
The aim of the program is to improve the skills and qualifications of students and staff through improved mobility between countries in Africa. Strengthening cooperation between higher education institutions in Africa will increase access to quality education and encourage African students to undertake postgraduate studies on the African continent. In addition, staff mobility (teaching and administrative) will strengthen the international cooperation capacities of higher education establishments in Africa. More specifically, the Intra-Africa university mobility program aims to:
- Contribute to improving the quality of higher education through the promotion of internationalization and harmonization of programs and study plans within participating establishments;
- Allow students, academic staff and administrative staff to benefit from linguistic, cultural and professional knowledge, thanks to the experience acquired in the context of mobility to another African country.
- The Intra-Africa academic mobility program is set up within the framework of the Pan-African program (development cooperation financing instrument), and is based on the experience of the intra-ACP academic mobility program.

The DRC program for postgraduate training in water resources has been validated and aligned with the Intra-African Academic Mobility Program in Water Resources. With its expertise in water resources issues, the Congo Basin Water Resources Research Center (CRREBaC) of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences was chosen as focal point and support laboratory for research and development work. capacity building of learners for the implementation of this program within our institution. CRREBaC positions itself as a support body for research and capacity building in the water resources sector, thus constituting an interface for collaboration and exchange of information and experience between the academic sector and the professional sector.
