Strategy of organizing staff mobility.

Case of the Intra-African Partnership Project for

Francophone Mobility on the Environment (PIMASO)

An intra-ACP mobility program

Strategy at the institutional level

During the project launch meeting, the coordination of PIMASO and the consortium

members agreed on how to welcome the staff and following decisions were taken:

The home university was invited to ease the availability of administrative staff for the

mobility;

Each host Institute was committed to ensure a good reception and working environment

for staff in mobility: reception units are functional with available people;

Given the short duration of the stay (2 months), the host University must ensure the

availability of accommodation, welcome the staff at the airport and facilitate the

formalities of entry in the host country;

The project must ensure a rapid implementation of the insurance and pay the scholarship

at one time if possible in the first week following the arrival of the staff.

Steps for candidates selection (1/2)

To ensure equity and transparency for all candidates, the selection procedure

was as follows:

Scoring criteria by the home university: relevance of the professional Project (10

marks); Motivations (10 marks);

Scoring criteria by the host university: relevance of the personal project (20

marks); Adequacy of reception (10 marks);

At the end of registrations, universities consensually graded outgoing and

incoming candidates according to the agreed criteria above;

The scoring results was transmitted by different universities to the project

coordination;

The arrival of the candidates to the host institution/university is confirmed by the

local coordinator who ensures the administrative follow-up of his stay;

Observations

To get more applicants, the following strategy have been adopted :

Local coordinators have been used to directly request their colleagues to apply

by website;

Target laboratories with similar thematic to guide teacher applications;

Target teachers with records for their professional career that would allow them

to publish scientific articles;

It should also be noted that most of the administrative staff came from a single

pay: imbalance
