Data-Driven Decisions: Using Evidence to Improve South Sudan's Higher Education System
This Policy Brief is based on the Demographics of African Faculty in the East African Community (DAF-EAC) study that was conducted in South Sudan and five other EAC partner states, specifically Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, between 2021 and 2023.
The study, undertaken by a consortium comprising the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), Education Sub Saharan Africa (ESSA), Association of African Universities (AAU), and the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), is the first to systematically document the status of higher education faculty in the EAC, following a prior examination of the DAF in Ghana. The DAF-EAC study provides a comprehensive analysis of the state of higher education faculty in the six EAC partner states and forecast demand through 2030.
