In the Pacific, under the EDULINK project, three universities have done some analysis of their programming in relation to ESD. As quality assurance in higher education receives increasing attention, it will be worthwhile to mainstream ESD-related criteria into all such appraisal and monitoring activities, not just those explicitly focusing on ESD. The findings of the MESCA audit have been cogently analysed, and the logical next step is to use this information for planning purposes, in order to build on areas of strength and address areas of relative weakness.
