University Governance and Quality Assurance
WHO WE ARE:
A Partnership of THE WORLD BANK and the MARSEILLE CENTER FOR MEDITERRANEAN INTEGRATION
The University Governance and Quality Assurance Program stems from a partnership between the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Human Development Department of the World Bank and the Marseille Center for Mediterranean Integration. Its purpose is to address insufficient access to higher education, inconsistent quality of higher education institutions across the region, and discrepancies between graduates’ skills and the skills demanded by the labor market.
