The University of Zambia and Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences have collaborated closely for many years. Through the NOMA project (2008-2013), a Master’s programme in Literacy and Learning was established at the University of Zambia, in partnership with the University of Namibia. Since 2017, UNZA and INN University have collaborated in the NORPART project Literacy Education in Multilingual Settings, whereby Master’s and PhD candidates from both institutions have studied at the partner university.
