| Summary: | In this benchmarking report, a
comprehensive benchmarking analysis of the participating
Sub-Saharan African universities is conducted in terms of
the key indicators identified and constructed for the
purpose of assessing institutional performance and health.
While university benchmarking is a relatively new approach
for most Sub-Saharan African universities that are
participating for the first time in this process, it has
been used as a diagnosis and planning tool by many
universities to understand and track their own performance
over time and against their local and global peers. For
Sub-Saharan African universities, there is a need to take
stock of outstanding achievements in the past, catch up with
local peers in the near future, and set long-term targets on
the road to becoming a top-performing university in the
world. It is expected that this benchmarking analysis will
serve as the basis for understanding the relative
performance of Sub-Saharan African universities as well as a
catalyst for these universities to take appropriate quality
improvement measures and carry out effective strategic
planning. For this phase of the Partnership for Skills in
Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology (PASET)
Regional Benchmarking Initiative, 28 out of the 48
Sub-Saharan African universities that signed up have
participated and attempted the benchmarking exercise to
different extents. |
