The SAGESSE project, Improving Governance in the Higher Education System in Tunisia, co-funded by the European Commission Erasmus+ program, aims at modernizing the Higher Education system in Tunisia by strengthening its quality assurance system, governance mechanisms and result based funding.

By promoting universities autonomy mostly in financial terms but also in terms of academic and human resources, the project will improve graduates’ employability and promote innovation and research.
SAGESSE contributes to the Tunisian higher education system reform process for improving the university governance and autonomy. The strategic plan for the Tunisian higher education and scientific reform (2015-2025) focuses on the autonomy as one of the key measures for the success of the reform. It considers the good governance promotion as one of its 5 main objectives for an academic, pedagogic, scientific, administrative and financial autonomy.

Aims

• Creating an integrated system of quality definition and control (SIDCQ). The aim is implementing new decision-making and management procedures thanks to the strengthening of the academic and administrative staff’ s skills and abilities;
• Designing a new good governance framework in order to promote the realisation of a Higher Education system e-administration unit that can suggest an innovative, efficient and more autonomous financial management structure;
• Fostering the commitment of a leadership at all organisational levels and supporting a political will encouraging the adoption of a strategic planning through the production of the action plans;
• Acting on future policies in order to consolidate, improve and develop new quality assurance mechanisms.
