5. Regional Integration and Policy Dialogue

Back to 5 Areas

The Regional Integration and Policy Dialogue area facilitates discussions among policymakers, higher education leaders, and quality assurance bodies to align policies and practices with broader continental strategies. Through structured dialogues, HAQAA3 promotes a coordinated approach to higher education integration that is inclusive, responsive to Africa’s educational priorities, and aligned with global trends.

This Work Area further exploits the open source materials produced under HAQAA2 on Comparative Regional Integration in Higher Education.

Key Components:

  • Policy Development:
    Support for policies aligned with continental educational priorities and global benchmarks.
  • Training and Capacity Building:
    Interregional dialogues and training enhance leaders’ capacity to align policies with regional standards.
  • Implementation:
    Practical application of policies at national, regional, and continental levels.

Expected Outcomes:

  • Alignment of national and regional higher education policies with continental strategies.
  • Enhanced collaboration between policymakers, quality assurance bodies, and educational leaders.
  • Interregional perspectives included in the discussions.
  • Advocacy for the role of higher education in regional and continental integration
