The initial phase of the ACQF Mapping Study (2020-2021) is collection of 13 country reports, 3 regional reports and a comprehensive continental analysis of the state-of-play and main perspectives of qualifications frameworks and systems in Africa.
The Mapping study built on data and information collected via the ACQF online survey, technical visits to 10 countries and 3 regions, one consultation webinar and 7 peer learning webinars. The continental report is available in 3 formats: comprehensive, synthesis and a snapshot infographic. In 2021 four country mapping study reports have been updated, to reflect important developments in NQF policies and structures. In 2022 two additional reports were added: Guiné-Bissau baseline mapping report and African School Curriculum Mapping Study.
