The AAU cordially invites stakeholders to participate in the InfoPoint Hybrid Conference under the theme, “Advancing African Continental Integration in Higher education: building trust through better quality”.

This webinar intends to showcase the results of the Harmonisation, Accreditation and Quality Assurance in African Higher Education (HAQAA) initiative achieved up to date and stimulate a discussion with EU Delegations, services and interested parties around the impacts of the initiative, specifically as they relate to the higher education sector and how it underpins development and objectives in other sectors (research and innovation, skills, employment, sustainability, etc).

The HAQAA initiative was conceived in 2014 as a European Union cooperation project with Africa based on the idea that “Higher education” has a particularly important role to play in enhancing citizenship and democratic values as well as providing a country with skilled workers, managers, and administrators that will foster sustainable development and encourage the trade and investment needed.
