Monitoring and Evaluation in the context of Qualifications Frameworks / ACQF

Many African countries are developing, are starting implementation or have substantial experience of operations of their NQF and need to review certains tools and reference principles. Monitoring and Evaluation concepts, tools and indicators are fundamental to support NQF institutions and stakeholders in steering the NQF towards the expected impacts.
Monitoring and Evaluation in the context of Qualifications Frameworks / ACQF

The Project ACQF-II conducts a four-part webinar series to provide capacity-building in the design and implementation of monitoring & evaluation tasks and activities. This webinar series is intended to assist Member States to implement monitoring and evaluation activities within the NQF. These activities will assist countries to understand the progress that is being made in the implementation of their NQF, to identify bottlenecks and areas where further support is required.

There are four webinars that will be hosted during September and October 2024. These will include a combination of practical discussions and theoretical concepts.

Key expert and trainer: Rebecca Pursell-Gotz, JET Education Services. Coordinator: Eduarda Castel-Branco. ecb@etf.europa.eu
