Supporting the NQF development process in Guiné-Bissau. NQF Concept Document. Mapping report. Training Handbook, Presentations, Methodological Guide on Qualifications Development

The ACQF project and Guiné-Bissau have started cooperation towards development of the National Qualifications Framework. The 1st NQF workshop in Guiné-Bissau was successfully conducted on 5-6 July 2022, under the auspices of the Minister of Education, who officially opened the event and recalled the importance of the NQF to support the wider education and training reforms. This workshop counted on active participation of over 30 representatives of all key government agencies and departments, the Chamber of Commerce, EU Delegation, UNICEF and was co-organised by ACQF and the project RESET. The outputs of the workshop include the roadmap for NQF development and the essential inputs to draft the foundations of the NQF concept document. ACQF experts contribute to the ongoing national effort to reinforce the TVET system, supported by RESET, the European Union-supported project implemented by ENABEL. This partnership with a national reform programme, the national stakeholders and international cooperation partners proves the advantages of synergy and complementarity, and will ensure that the future NQF will be embedded in the wider education and training system.
