Evaluation review of the APQN(Bateman & Bateman, 2008) “The APQN has demonstrated that it has delivered capacity building outcomes across the region within many of the countries/territories that have less developed QA systems. However, the task is not complete and recommendations are framed with view of further developments and reaching out to all nations within the region.”
