Strengthening Burundi's Higher Education: Actionable Strategies for a Diverse and Effective Faculty
This Policy Brief draws insights from the Demographics of African Faculty in the East African Community (DAF-EAC) study, conducted in Burundi and five other EAC partner states—specifically Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda—between 2021 and 2023.
This study by 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 across 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.
