SENEGAL Tertiary Education Governance and Financing For Results

closed

The objective of the Tertiary Education Governance and Financing for Results Project for Senegal is to enhance the efficiency and quality of the higher education system and the oversight and accountability of Higher Education Institution (HEI). There are two components to the project, the first component being strengthening the governance of the tertiary education system. For this component the concept of governance includes the aspects of providing: (a) reliable information to improve both transparency and decision-making: (b) standards and benchmarks to allow for measuring results and facilitating accountability: (c) providing incentives to encourage good management and create a culture of results; and (d) accountability mechanisms to hold service providers answerable for processes and outcomes. The second component is the improvement of the effectiveness of the tertiary education institutions. This component includes three sub-components: performance based contracts (PBC); diversifying and increasing access to short term tertiary education; and improving the learning environment.
