The Eastern Africa Universities Mathematics Programme (EAUMP) abbreviated as EAUMP started in 2002. The network was established the network aiming at alleviating the dismal state of Mathematics in Eastern Africa at that time.

 EAUMP aims at enhancing capacity building as well as initiating and strengthening collaborative research activities within the region. It is envisaged that EAUMP will promote professional relationships among members.

Objectives

The EAUMP programme aims at building capacity in Mathematics teaching and Mathematical research in Eastern Africa.  It has been noted that the state of Mathematics in this region still needs to be improved.

The project consists of four basic components namely:-

Enhancement of postgraduate training

With special emphasis to PhD training so as to build capacity in Universities in the region and training advance mathematics researchers needed in other socio-economic sectors in the region. Training programmes will be run in jointly by staff from collaborating universities. Since there is a limited pool of PhD candidates in the region, resources under this project will be utilized to support M.Sc. training in the region especially in areas where the participating departments have an acute shortage.

Establishing and strengthening collaborative

Establishing and strengthening collaborative research in Mathematics areas of interest in the region. Collaborative research projects must supported by a strong postgraduate programme. Here staff exchanges and research visits will be conducted within and outside the region.

Collaboration

Strengthening the collaboration in mathematics with other networks..

Development

Development of resources for the collaborating Mathematics departments. These resources include teaching and learning materials, research databases and maintenance of department’s website among others.

Results

The expected results of the project include

Improved Mathematics Publications profile in the region

FUNDING

The main funding agency of the network since 2002 to date is the International Science Programme (ISP) of Uppsala University, Sweden. The fund for EAUMP is renewable every after three years. The first phase of fund started from 2002 to 2004, the second phase was from 2005 to 2007, the third phase was from 2008 to 2010, and the fourth phase was from 2011 to 2013, the fifth phase 2014 to 2016 and the sixth phase 2018 to 2020 and was prolonged by one year till 2021. The 7th phase will be 2022-2024.
