“Funding Higher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa features 14 chapters of which 12 are devoted to country case studies focusing on financing policies and practices in the public higher education (HE) domain. … the book is a very useful reference for researchers, graduate students, leaders of higher education institutions, policy makers, development partners, and the donor community.” (Tesfaye Semela, Higher Education Policy, Vol. 29, 2016)
