PAC University won the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) regional tender to train universities in the six East Africa Community (EAC) member States on Digital Skills in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary objective of this training is to enable the universities to successfully mainstream e-learning into their teaching and learning modes.

The tender was commissioned by GIZ based on the COVID-19 measures and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) under the project Digital Skills for an Innovative East African Industry (dSkills@EA), which is about strengthening advanced digital skills and innovation capacities in the EAC. The implementing partner of the project is the East African Community Secretariat, through the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), and the Centre of Excellence for ICT in East Africa (CENIT@EA).

PAC University will provide training in digital skills, development of appropriate online courses, online assessment and examination, and use of open-source learning management systems, among other areas.
