The Higher Education Science and Technology Project for Mozambique will increase the number and raise the quality of graduates at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and strengthen the national research capacities to produce research outputs of relevance to the country's strategic economic sectors. The project supports three main components: (A) system governance and management strengthening; (B) improving quality teaching, learning, and research through the provision of competitive funds; and (C) equity and competitiveness scholarships. Component A will support capacity building of system oversight and quality assurance institutions, implementation of key quality assurance policies, and piloting of higher education financing reform. Component B will provide institutional and individual grants to public institutions or loans to private institutions to improve the quality of teaching, learning, and research. Component C will finance undergraduate scholarships for disadvantaged but qualified students, particularly from provincial areas, and also support institutional staff development with scholarships for postgraduate study in national priority disciplines.
