About this book

Virtually all countries in the world are struggling to provide the necessary resources to Higher Education. The challenges are particularly complex for economically poor countries in Africa, which have recorded massive expansion in the past decade. This book analyzes the state of funding and financing higher education in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Reviews

“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)
