Promoting Policy/Change Dialogues and Information Dissemination
This project will identify reform issues closely linked to higher education transformation and will aim to facilitate informed debate as well as the dissemination of such debates. This project builds on the previous National and Regional Policy/Change Dialogues through:
- building a larger and more diverse membership;
- involving more partners in a wider range of settings; and
- developing a planned link between research, data and advocacy across a number of countries in higher education in Africa.
Critical to the success of stimulating dialogue and debate on higher education is the delivery of relevant information to an active network on a regular and sustained basis. In order to achieve this, CHET has implemented the following strategies:
- Investing in its website as a prime vehicle for information delivery. The website has been redeveloped to allow for regular and timely updates as well easy retrieval of information.
- Regular publishing, both digitally and in print.
- Publications in print are made available in bookshops and libraries (via a third-party distributor) and can also be ordered via the CHET website.
- All in-print books produced after 2003 are available as PDF downloads in full and free of charge from the CHET website. This supports CHET's commitment to open access publishing. It also ensures that no recently published book becomes unavailable when out of print
- CHET maintains an active database of approximately 2 000 subscribers. Regular updates are sent to these subscribers via email.
Through CHET's Research on Higher Education and Development programme many of the above strategies will be developed further to reach an even wider and more diverse audience. In particular, HERANA will facilitate more powerful information retrieval and sharing across data sources through the development of an information gateway.
