This capacity building in higher education (CBHE) project, a collaboration between Southern African and European universities and higher education councils, will systematically develop principles and policies for the recognition, quality assurance and regulation of microcredentials in Southern African countries.
After examining the state of microcredential conceptualisation, policy development and implementation in Lesotho, Mauritius, Namibia and South Africa, in both the public and private sectors, and through intra- and inter-regional consultations, the project will develop national concept papers for the systematic introduction of regional guidelines and policy frameworks on microcredentials.
