Find MBA recently posted an article about the huge new campus announced in Morocco by ESSEC: http://find-mba.com/news/2016/02/essec-to-open-new-campus-in-morocco

I'd add three points to this. First, its strategic partner, Centrale-Supélec, is part of the set-up on the ground there in Rabat and also in Beijing. ESSEC already has joint masters with Centrale-Supélec in entrepreneurship and in finance.

Second, the Rabat campus is testing a self-funding, partnership-based model which is being used also to expand ESSEC's presence in the Mauritius. It has run its GMP there since 2012: http://www.medineeducationvillage.com/institutions/icsia-institutions/essec-business-school

Third, it's very interesting that it's French schools, rather than British, that are making the most ambitious plans in Africa. After China, the EU is Africa' major trading partner (followed by the US and India). Given the cuts to the French grandes ecoles, they are looking for ways to tap into new markets. I think that's very smart. Africa has huge opportunities, with huge cities like Cairo, Lagos, Kinshasa and Khartoum still lacking robust MBAs. Surely any city in the developing world with more than three or four million people must have a powerful business community that needs and MBA and, with the right partners, a good MBA could be delivered locally for $10k-$20k.
