Article Title: The Gender and Financing Dimensions of Higher Education in Africa: A Case Study in the Zambian Context
by Venkatesh Seshamani and Sylvia Mwamba Shalumba

Abstract:
There is a sequential link between the financing of female higher education, human capital formation and human development. There is need for the adoption of a committed, sustained and proactive strategy to promote female higher education and finance is the key. The University of Zambia has for long been running its programs and activities with a level of gender insensitivity bordering on gender blindness. Some positive steps have been taken recently by the University management to redress this situation. But a lot more still remains to be done in terms of developing and promoting gender-responsive budgets, gender-sensitive leadership, gender-monitoring institutions and gender-empathetic mindsets.
Keywords: gender, financing, higher education, Africa, University of Zambia
