A Leap Towards Academic Excellence

Under the visionary leadership of Vice Chancellor Prof. Abdulkadir B.

Groundbreaking Partnership with UNASOMALIA

The collaboration with UNASOMALIA, as highlighted by Vice President Salma Abdi Hassan Omar, is a milestone in Accord's journey. "This partnership is not just about education; it's about shaping the future of Somalia through sustainable practices and inclusive policies," Ms. Omar emphasized. This alliance has led to the integration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the curriculum, making Accord University a pioneer in aligning higher education with global sustainability objectives.
