Networks

ACQF connects and networks. ACQF works together with national, regional and continental organisations and networks, such as the African Qualifications Verification Network (AQVN), the African Curriculum Association (ACA), and with SADC Qualifications Framework. This cooperation translates into: joint studies and surveys, joint organisation of knowledge-sharing webinars, and tailored initiatives supporting development of qualifications frameworks.

Networking with African Qualifications Verification Framework

Two networks working together for a common goal: transparency, comparability and mutual trust in qualifications and qualifications systems. Between July and November 2021 AQVN activated its networking via a programme of five knowledge-sharing, involving different countries and organisations from Africa and Europe. Recognition and verification policies and practices shared at this programme showed a diversity of approaches, but also a common ground, in which recognition, quality assurance and qualifications frameworks can play together for transparency of qualifications and fair mobility. The cases shared: Botswana, Cape Verde, Eswatini, Kenya, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Zambia, Sweden, France, ENIC-NARIC Networks and European Commission's policies in the domain of recognition.
