ESAGOV aims at reinforcing the quality approach of governance in Algerian universities, starting from the construction of the university programme. The specific objectives are:

- Strenghtening the role of universities in defining their own missions;
- Strengthening the strategic skills of university leaders and academic and administrative staff;
- Strengthening the evaluation mechanism and the quality approach within the universities.

To this end, a first phase of research will be conducted through a comparative survey / benchmarking and a deepening of the external evaluation for the state of the art (WP1). The research will enable Algerian universities to define their action plan in order to elaborate the university programme (WP2). Staff capacity building will be conducted through modular training followed by three local training workshops and field visits in Europe (WP3). Staff capacity building will be completed within their own universities through local-level training of trainers (WP4). The project will then focus on each Algerian institution managing the pilot activities described in the action plans developed and defined in WP2. These pilot activities aims to build the university programme (WP5) and relies on the collaboration of European peers and on the consultation and participating of the different Ministries. In the short-term, this will strenghten the skills of the university staff in terms of governance and quality assurance, while contributing to the development of leadership engagement. In the long term, ESAGOV will increase the awareness of the benefits of governance and its challenges at University and institutional level, on both a national and regional scale.
