Webinar Series (with PASGR)
Webinar Series on the Impact of COVID-19 on Higher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa
The Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR), in collaboration with Education Sub Saharan Africa (ESSA), hosted a series of webinars on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
The webinar series brought insights from recent collaborative studies, programmatic interventions, and stakeholder engagements that ESSA and PASGR led, working closely with other African partners. The aim was to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in SSA, and how African universities surmounted these challenges to continue programme delivery and research.
The series facilitated discussions among policymakers, educators, students, funders, and other stakeholders.
Objectives
The objectives of the completed webinar series were:
-
To share evidence and data on the impact of COVID-19 on higher education in SSA and how it was mitigated.
-

-
To create a safe space for policy engagement to encourage the uptake of evidence for policy and programming.
-
To co-develop mechanisms for scaling and sustaining solutions and adaptations made during the pandemic.
