Partnerships Rooted in an Ethical Framework: A Case Study and Insights from the Aga Khan University

The CBIE International Relations Professional Learning Community is pleased to host a discussion on the ethics of partnerships by Farzana Karim-Haji, Director, University Partnerships Office, Aga Khan University.

Drawing on the case example of the Aga Khan University, this presentation will highlight the challenges and opportunities in developing partnerships rooted in an ethical framework. It will discuss how the Aga Khan University has approached North-South partnerships from practical and ethical perspectives, has engaged partners critically and has developed tools and best practices to build a stronger partnership narrative that is relevant, impactful and effective. Following the presentation, the IR PLC will guide the group through a series of questions that will help IR officers understand how we can approach partnerships differently.
