The African Tertiary Institutions Connectivity Survey (ATICS) is an initiative of the African Virtual University to provide a comparative snapshot of the information and technology (ICT) infrastructure of African tertiary-level institutions. Approximately 71 institutions on the continent have completed the AVU survey instrument. The Web site contains the completed questions, an early analysis of them, and information on policy issues in Africa.

The Association of African Universities (AAU) is a pan-African organization that was founded in 1967 and is located in Accra. The AAU promotes cooperation between universities in Africa and between African universities and the international academic community. More than 100 universities belong to the AAU. The AAU Web site has a list of its member universities, with email addresses and URLs, where available. A list of AAU monographs will be found on the site and information on ordering them, although the monographs are not available electronically. In addition the AAU maintains a research program on higher education management, which is described on the site; there is also a list of researchers, papers, and the full text of some of the research papers written for the program.
