Johann Mouton and Roland Waast completed an impressive study of national research systems for UNESCO. A symposium was held in January 2008 and materials from that meeting are available at http://portal.unesco.org/education/en/ev.php-URL_ID=54627&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html.
The national profiles are available for downloading at http://portal.unesco.org/education/en/ev.php-URL_ID=54817&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html. They include 17 African countries, with 4 PHEA countries (Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda). The profiles contain very useful information at both institutional and national levels on higher education institutions.
