General Information
The HAQAA2 consortium offered graduates of the HAQAA1 and HAQAA2 training course on internal and external QA the chance to apply for grants to implement dissemination and capacity-building projects to strengthen the implementation of the Pan-African Quality Assurance and Accreditation Framework (PAQAF).
The dissemination projects aim
- To support the dissemination and multiplication of the outcomes of training activities across the continent
- To encourage collaboration between all HAQAA training course graduates and to link IQA and EQA professionals, as both are critical to vibrant QA systems
This is a unique opportunity for the course graduates to implement activities that facilitate the transfer and multiplication of skills and knowledge in their local context, while receiving funding and coaching through the HAQAA2 Initiative.
