The Nairobi Workshop was the first the 2023 Capacity Development cycle, composed of 3 workshops on the Theme "Making NQFs operational in a time of change". Participants from 14 countries learned and discussed essential topics: concepts and practices of NQFs; registration of qualifications; monitoring and evaluation in the context of NQF; RPL; micro-credentials; quality assurance; governance of NQFs. The study visit to KNQA provided insights on the organisation, operations and tools for management of the NQF and related policies.
