NUFFIC. Synergy in Action: Coordination of cooperation programmes in higher education and research. Prints&Proms, 2013. ISBN: 978-90-5464-056-1. Pages: 106.

The articles found in this report deal with the coordination potential and coordination barriers of donor programmes for international cooperation in higher education and research aimed at capacity building in developing countries. These programmes are tackled from three perspectives: a) the design and implementation of the programmes in the context of broader developmental policies; b) the experiences of organisations in developing countries in making optimal use of the programmes; and c) the experiences of higher education institutions in developed countries in using these programmes to pursue their academic, social and organisational objectives. In a mix of different but rich experiences and insights, the authors in this book represent three perspectives: of donors/agencies, of organisations in the South, and of organisations in the North.
