We contribute to the development of the region by providing platforms for multilateral and inter-governmental dialogue to align higher education sectors and enhance resiliency and sustainability.

We empower countries and academic institutions to help bridge and narrow existing gaps in the region and promote robust and sustainable development of higher education.

We promote inclusive education and enhance mobility and linkages through engagement with regional and international partners to develop global citizens and lifelong learners.

We pursue policy research and knowledge projects at regional and international levels to provide policy options and directions to help decision makers make informed decisions.
