Universities and colleges in more African countries
This page covers 17African countries with only a few higher-education institutions each. Where the country's regulator publishes a register, every institution on it is listed — 146 institutions on the registers of Cabo Verde, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mauritania, Mauritius and The Gambia. For the Central African Republic and Gabon, the ministry's site publishes no list we could read, so the page names the ministry instead. It shows names, types, towns, websites and the register's own details — no fees, enrolment or rankings. For Chad, the Comoros, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, the Republic of the Congo, São Tomé and Príncipe and Seychelles, no official list could be read at all: a separate block below the official sections lists what Wikidata, a database anyone can edit, records for them — 113 institutions — and is marked as not an official list.
This is a list of what each country's official register or regulator lists, as read on the date shown — not proof that an institution or a qualification is accredited or recognised. Check with the regulator before you apply.
Cabo Verde
Regulator: Agência Reguladora do Ensino Superior (ARES) · Accredited higher-education institutions · read 21 October 2026
ARES, Cabo Verde's independent higher-education regulator, accredits institutions and each study cycle (degree programme) separately; its course list shows whether each cycle is accredited, discontinued or cancelled. Towns are where each institution has accredited cycles in that list. The legal instrument is the one ARES shows for each institution.
To check recognition: ARES — recognition of degrees.

Eswatini

The Eswatini Higher Education Council, set up under the Higher Education Act 2013, registers institutions and accredits their programmes; an institution must be registered to operate. Its list (updated 1 October 2026) gives each institution's status — provisional authority to establish and operate, registered, or fully registered — and is grouped into public, government-funded and private higher-education institutions and private and public technical and vocational (TVET) institutions. The list prints names in capitals; they are shown here in title case.

Wikidata, queried 23 October 2026; its data is available under CC0 1.0. Names are Wikidata's English labels, or a local-language label where it has none, lightly tidied (spacing, capitals, one misspelling corrected from the institution's own website); types are Wikidata's classes in our wording; towns come from each item's location. CollegeMatcher left out items Wikidata marks as dissolved or superseded, faculties, campuses and other parts of an institution, duplicates, items located in another country and items that aren't higher education. A website is linked only where it answered when checked and named the institution. CollegeMatcher provides information, not admissions advice.
What isn't here, and why
Mauritius's open-data portal could not be read when we tried on 21 October 2026, so no figures are shown for Mauritius. In the official sections, websites are shown only where the register itself gives one and it answered when checked.
For the African countries with sections of their own, see Study in Africa.
