Abstract	This survey examined linkages between U.S. and southern African academic institutions, focusing on programs in southern African countries other than South Africa. It is based on a survey of over 500 U.S. colleges and universities in the Southern African Information Exchange (SAIE) database, as well as surveys of southern African institutions and individuals, interviews, and site visits. A total of 162 linkages, with 96 U.S. institutions and 33 southern African institutions reporting, were identified. Linkages were found to be more likely to endure when they facilitated profound personal and professional relationships, developed capacities in local institutions that could be replicated, generated processes applicable to other settings, reached out to the community, engaged industry, involved collaboration with government officials, cultivated regional collaboration, and attracted new, nonuniversity partners. The bulk of the report contains a detailed inventory of all 162 identified linkages. Fourteen appendixes provide alphabetical listings of the linkages, cross-indexed listings by academic field and type, listings of U.S.-South Africa linkages, people interviewed, and sample questionnaires.
