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).
