CHEC is the longest existing regional consortium in South Africa. It was established in 1993 and has continued to expand and thrive where other regional consortia have disappeared.Early sorties into strategic academic programme collaboration were challenging and largely unsuccessful and required CHEC to examine both its desired goals and its strategies towards attaining them. The lesson learned was that voluntary, regional, inter-institutional organisations are inherently fragile and precarious. They depend for their success on crafting rules and conventions for co-operation between autonomous and competing institutions.
