title = "Higher Education and Development: Knowledge as Igniter",
abstract = "As Trani and Holsworth (2010, p. 2) have observed, “Universities have become indispensable actors in the social and economic development of modern society, at almost every level and in almost every venue.” In this chapter, we explore the education/development connection, focusing on the tertiary level and the African context. We begin by considering the role of knowledge as igniter of development. This discussion leads into needs analysis, specifically regarding ways in which development-relevant knowledge is generated (research needs) and transmitted (national- and community-development needs).",
