Résumé

Cet article, préparé pour une conférence portant sur le « Financement de l’enseignement supérieur : diversification des revenus et élargissement de l’accès », qui a eu lieu à Dar-es-Salaam en mars 2001, s’inspire de différentes expériences tirées des pays en développement, dans le but de mieux orienter les politiques de mise en place de prêts étudiants en Afrique. Il souligne les problèmes communs à ces programmes de prêt (qui ont pour la plupart été un échec en Afrique), allant d’un capital inadéquat à des subventions excessives, en passant par l’incapacité à venir à bout de l’opposition politique à l’octroi de ces prêts. Il existe un grand nombre de décisions clés à prendre, dont l’issue déterminera largement l’éventuel taux de recouvrement, et déterminera également l’accès des étudiants à ces programmes, et pourrait même bien influer sur la possible réceptivité politique à l’égard du concept de prêts. Cet article conclut que les programmes de prêts peuvent être définis pour être plus efficaces, afin de contribuer à la diversification des revenus en Afrique.
