Today, the quality of engineering training in Western Africa (more specifically in Senegal and Togo) has to meet international standards while being closely connected to local economic and sociocultural contexts. To reach this goal, global structuring involving representatives of the different economic sectors is required.Four European higher education institutions will support six schools from Senegal and Togo in their pursuit of autonomy by helping them to develop their own method of improving quality in order to obtain the CTI accreditation and the EUR-ACE label and, by doing so, to reach international standards.The six schools have been chosen to reflect as much as possible the diversity of institutional models and training programs, and to consider potential synergy beyond the countries involved in this project. They all possess both a strong will for improvement and local resources that have yet to be structured. An upgrade of the traditional academic streams along with the development of new specialties (applied mathematics) should highlight local skills that are much sought-after worldwide.Support, which includes training personnel, will structure all different phases of the process. It should allow the African institutions to decide what needs and evolutions are required. It will cover pedagogical, economical and institutional stakes in order to ensure autonomous and effective grasp of the quality process. It will lead them to design online training programs that could be shared.The acquired know-how and the general method will be assessed and adjusted when necessary. They will give rise to a White Paper and to the implementation of an adapted follow-up that should guarantee the sustainability of the quality process within the socio-economic and cultural context.
