Development Grant Facility
In 2004, APQN became the first network to receive a 3-year World Bank Development Grant Facility (DGF) to strengthen its institutional capacity and the technical capacity of its member organizations.

Lessons learned:
A regional approach is an efficient and cost effective mechanism to deliver capacity building across a wide and diverse region. The regional approach has led to greater capacity to learn and share.
![Page 14: CAPACITY BUILDING FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE ......2010/04/16 · Development Grant Facility In 2004, APQN became the first network to receive a 3-year World Bank Development Grant Facility](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042210/5eaebd13fb48ac16bb08c20a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The regional model tends to develop higher education QA systems more quickly and efficiently.
The subject of educational quality is global, but the work of QA, for the most part, is local.International cooperation and commitment towards building capacity in QA as demonstrated by the World Bank and UNESCO are yielding positive results.
