Project or Programme

Support to the Namibia National Council On Higher Education (NCHE)

The overall aim of the Operation is to improve the quality of the higher education and training system in Namibia. The objective of this proposal is to strengthen the capacity of the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) in the implementation of the Quality Assurance System for Higher Education in Namibia. A credible and efficient quality assurance system plays a central role in ensuring that the higher education that is delivered in Namibia produces graduates that fit the needs of the labor market and therefore address both the skills shortages and skill mismatch in the economy. The Operation has two (2) main components that focus on (1) Strengthening the national capacity (mainly of the NCHE) to conduct programme accreditation and institutional audits; and (2) Institutionalization of Tracer Studies in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

About the Funding Agency

The African Development Bank is a regional multilateral development finance institution, established in 1963, with a mandate to further economic development and social progress of African countries, individually and collectively. 80 member countries including all the 54 African countries and 26 non-African countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia own the Bank. 

The Bank's principal functions include:
  1. using its resources for the financing of investment projects and programs relating to the economic and social development of its Regional Member Countries (RMCs);
  2. the provision of technical assistance for the preparation and execution of development projects and programs;
  3. promoting investment in Africa of public and private capital for development purposes; and (iv) to respond to requests for assistance in coordinating development policies and plans of RMCs. In its operations, the Bank is also required to give special attention to projects and programs that promote regional integration.
The Bank began its operations from its headquarters, in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire on July 1, 1966. For the purpose of its operations, the Bank also maintains Regional Resource Centers and Field Offices within RMCs.
 
For projects financed by the Bank resources, the charter requires suppliers for contracts for institutional activities and projects to be nationals of a member country.
