At the centre of the country’s qualifications system is the Eswatini Qualifications Framework (ESQF) which serves as blueprint for the development of education and training programmes and qualifications. The key responsibilities of the EQA include the development and implementation of the ESQF, registration of qualifications in the ESQF, verification and evaluation of qualifications (local and foreign) and the creation of a database of qualifications awarded in the country to create the much desired trust, recognition of Eswatini qualifications in the SADC region and internationally.
