The paper investigates the question of sustainability of capacity building initiatives by reporting about the multiplication training in the frame of DIES NMT Programme on quality assurance in Uganda and how it could make use of the social capital within the existing quality assurance network to sustain and address challenges during its implementation. The purpose of the article is to explore the nature of networking (social and institutional) which was established by the Ugandan Universities Quality Assurance Forum (UUQAF) and share the strategies used in this training experience for future sustainable capacity building training initiatives in emerging economies. The paper employed a qualitative research method to describe and analyse the training framework based on primary and secondary documents.
Higher education institutions in Guinea face many challenges, including reporting responsibilities, globalisation, and massification. Institutional evaluations of higher education and research institutions in 2013 could not initiate the implementation of change processes within the institutions. Recently, however, various initiatives have been started to change this situation with the purpose to sensitise and raise awareness and capabilities for quality assurance structures in Guinean HEIs. So far, the emphasis has been put on quality enhancement in higher education, especially on teaching evaluation, curriculum development, as well as on establishing quality assurance structures. This article gives an overview of the state of play and takes stock of the activities that have been initiated to set up quality assurance mechanisms in higher education and research institutions, and presents perspectives for further development of the quality approach in Guinea. The project ‘Quality Assurance Multiplication 2017-2018’ serves as an example to describe approaches and activities in setting up stable quality assurance structures, and to strengthen and raise awareness for a ‘quality culture’.
Les établissements d’enseignement supérieur en Guinée sont confrontés à de nombreux défis, notamment les responsabilités en matière de rapports, la mondialisation et la massification. Les évaluations institutionnelles des établissements d’enseignement supérieur (EES) et de recherche en 2013 n’ont pas permis d’initier la mise en oeuvre des processus de changement au sein des établissements. Récemment, diverses initiatives ont été lancées pour changer cette situation dans le but de sensibiliser et de renforcer la prise de conscience et les capacités des structures d’assurance qualité dans les EES guinéennes. Jusqu’à présent, l’accent a été mis sur l’amélioration de la qualité dans l’enseignement supérieur, en particulier sur l’évaluation de l’enseignement, l’élaboration des programmes d’études, ainsi que sur la mise en place de structures d’assurance qualité. Cet article donne un aperçu de l’état des lieux et fait le point sur les activités qui ont été lancées pour mettre en place des mécanismes d’assurance qualité dans les établissements d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche, et présente les perspectives de développement de l›approche qualité en Guinée. Le projet «Multiplication de l’assurance qualité 2017 – 2018» sert d’exemple pour décrire les approches et les activités de mise en place de structures stables d’assurance qualité, et pour renforcer et sensibiliser à une «culture de la qualité».
Whilst providing a framework for learning and scientific emancipation, a proposal writing training is confronted with various organisational and didactic challenges, which influence the achievement of the set training objectives. Based on observations made during the workshops for proposal writing organised in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, as part of the NMT Programme, the article raises two main questions: (a) How could these challenges be overcome and successfully addressed in the training? (b) What is the level of learning outcomes of the participants at the end of the training? The article shows that the success of the training lays in the relevance of the employed training approaches. The use of a participatory approach encouraged constructive exchanges between participants, trainers, and experts, and enabled all participants to finalise coherent projects to apply for national and international funding.
Mise en oeuvre de l’atelier d’écriture des projets de recherche en République démocratique du Congo

Tout en offrant un cadre d’apprentissage et d’émancipation scientifique, l’atelier d’écriture des projets oppose différents défis, d’ordre organisationnel et didactique, dont les approches influent sur son déploiement et sur l’atteinte des objectifs assignés. Comment s’y prendre pour contourner ces défis et accomplir avec succès l’implémentation de la formation proposée ? Quelle en est l’incidence sur la qualité des acquisitions des participants au terme de la formation ? Le présent article répond à ces questions, partant des observations faites lors des formations organisées à Kinshasa (République démocratique du Congo) dans le cadre du programme National Multiplication Training (NMT). Il en ressort que le succès d’un atelier réside dans la pertinence des approches mises en oeuvre. Le recours à l’approche participative a favorisé les échanges constructifs entre participants, formateurs et experts, et a permis à tous les participants de finaliser des projets cohérents, pour postuler aux financements nationaux et internationaux.
This article collected the results of a qualitative study focused on Colombian Higher Education Institutions’ representatives partaking in the training ‘Internationalisation for Peacebuilding 2018’. The selected Higher Education Institutions and representatives were all located in regions acutely affected by the Colombian armed conflict, now experiencing multifaceted challenges and opportunities in a post-conflict scenario. Interviews with participants of the training were conducted to analyse the skills acquired and to identify possible improvements brought about by the training at the institutions. The article further identifies specific needs of the institutions, to be taken into account for future courses on internationalisation for higher education institutions.
