About

The African Continental Qualifications Framework (ACQF) community will convene in Nairobi on 28-30 July for the 7th ACQF Continental Forum, under the theme “Building Future-Ready Qualifications Systems for Africa”. The Forum will bring together institutions responsible for National Qualifications Frameworks across Africa, as well as international cooperation partners, to exchange experiences, strengthen collaboration, and discuss priorities for the ACQF's continued implementation.

The event offers a platform for policymakers, qualifications authorities, technical experts, and education and training stakeholders to share good practices and strengthen mutual trust in key areas of qualifications development. Themes will include quality assurance, recognition of prior learning, digitalisation of qualifications, and other emerging priorities relevant to the development of future-ready qualifications systems on the continent.

Programme highlights will include:

  • Policies and practices related to the recognition of skills and credentials;
  • Policy approaches and emerging developments on micro-credentials;
  • Good practices in green skills and qualifications;
  • The operationalisation of the ACQF Qualifications and Credentials Platform;
  • Networking and collaboration opportunities to support continental activities in 2026–2027; and
  • Presentations and discussions on the work of the ACQF technical clusters, covering referencing, qualifications databases and digitalisation, research and policy development, communication and outreach, and sustainable financing.

The Forum will also contribute to shaping future cooperation and implementation priorities for the ACQF Network and its stakeholders, supporting the African Union’s vision of an integrated, prosperous, and knowledge-based continent.

The event will be conducted in English, French and Portuguese, with live streaming available to facilitate broader participation across the continent and beyond. The Zoom registration link will be available soon.
