Professor Kanwar presided over the 15th session of the Executive Governing Board for the Commonwealth Executive MBA and MPA Programmes (CEMBA/CEMPA), hosted by the Open University of Mauritius. The convergence included the Executive and Academic Board meetings, with vice chancellors and delegates from different countries of the Commonwealth.

The Academic Board was composed of representatives from 11 countries: Bangladesh, Botswana, the Cayman Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mauritius, Nigeria, Pakistan, Seychelles and Sri Lanka. In parallel, the Executive Governing Board comprised representatives from nine countries: Bangladesh, Botswana, the Cayman Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mauritius, Nigeria and Seychelles.

Discussions at the Executive Governing Board affirmed the Academic Board’s decisions, delving into enrolment statistics, trends and strategies for the CEMBA/CEMPA Programmes’ advancement. The session yielded constructive commentary on recent curricular revisions, leading to the approval of nine updated courses. Initially established through a collaboration with four open universities in Asia in 2002, the CEMBA/CEMPA Programmes have flourished, now offered through 12 partner institutions across Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
