For decades, donors and policymakers have focused on primary and secondary education as the key to development and poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa. But until recently they have been reducing funding for tertiary education. Only since the 1990s has higher education's importance for socio-economic development come to the fore, becoming part of the political agenda in many African countries.
There is now a consensus that Africa needs many more doctorate holders to develop the robust knowledge needed to promote development. The African Union and the British Council, among others, are making the case for higher education's inclusion in the post-2015 development agenda, given its role as a motor of economic development and prosperity.
But what does it take to make higher education work for Africa? In particular, what makes producing more PhDs difficult and how should doctoral training change so it better supports the continent's needs?
