In a presentation outlining the challenges facing African Universities Andrew A. Siwela made a number of recommendations to address the problem of financing higher education they were:
- Universities must improve on internal efficiencies in the utilisation of financial, human and other resources.
- Diversification of the revenue base through consultancies and commissioned research.
- Cost sharing where the beneficiaries contribute towards tuition fees and their personal maintenance on campus.
- Sale of excess capacity that may be available (rental of lecture rooms, seminar rooms and halls etc.)
- Fund raising through endowments and alumni associations.
- Establishment of fee paying continuing education programmes run on a part time basis or during vacations.
- Establishing independently run and effectively managed joint commercial ventures"
