Title:  Implementing the Strategy for financial
reform of higher education in Mozambique (EFES)
Abstract:  This report describes the results of more than fifteen years of cooperation between the
Government of Mozambique, the Government of the Netherlands, the Mozambican higher
education institutions and the relevant stakeholders in designing and implementing
reforms in the financing of higher education in Mozambique. Through the support of
NUFFIC, the Dutch organisation for internationalisation in education, many collaborative
projects – all of them managed by CHEPS – were undertaken to develop and implement a
revised financing framework for the rapidly growing Mozambican higher education
system – a system confronted by many challenges in terms of access, quality and
efficiency.
This report includes: (1) an historical overview of the various events that have shaped the
financing situation from the year 2000 onwards; (2) the rationale for the financial
reforms, (3) the design of a revised policy framework, together with a novel approach for
the monitoring and evaluation of the policy mix; (4) the intense consultation processes
and simulations undertaken during the 2011-2017 implementation phase, (5) a detailed
description of the design of each of the three funding streams included in the revised
funding framework, together with a discussion of the various trade-offs implied by the
framework. In the final chapter, the report provides conclusions and recommendations
on how the implementation of the financial reform can be continued successfully.
