Research

As part of NAQAA’s ongoing initiative to strengthen accreditation and elevate the quality of academic programs across higher education institutions in The Gambia, we convened a comprehensive stakeholder engagement session today. Esteemed representatives from all universities were invited to collaboratively explore strategies that will advance research, foster innovation, and deepen community engagement within our higher education sector. Additionally, to establish a robust framework for monitoring, assessing research excellence and potentially inform the ranking of higher education institutions.

In his opening remarks, the Chief Executive Officer Dr. Momodou Lamin Tarro, emphasized the vital role of research in driving national development and enhancing global competitiveness. He underscored the importance of institutionalizing research practices within our universities to cultivate innovation, support evidence-based policymaking, and contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic progress of The Gambia.

Through these efforts, NAQAA is committed to fostering an environment of academic excellence and strategic growth in higher education.
