Kenya will host a continental conference on the implementation of the Africa Continental Qualifications Framework (ACQF) from October 9-13, 2023 at Fairview Hotel, Nairobi.
The Programme, funded by the European Training Foundation (ETF) and led by the African Union Commission, chose Kenya’s KNQA as its host to transform education and workforce development in Africa.
The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education Ezekiel Machogu will address the gathering of experts from across the continent.

- Capacity Building: Offers workshops, training, and resources to enhance the understanding and implementation of the African Continental Qualifications Framework.

- Best Practices: Highlights successful case studies and best practices from countries and institutions aligning with the ACQF.
