Enhancing the work of African Researchers
African research can be used to improve education at all levels and other issues in society. But research outputs are disproportionately small in comparison to other continents. They are also dispersed across a wide range of outlets and not easily accessible. We want to change this.
This area focuses on advancing a more open, quality, and locally led research ecosystem that provides African researchers with the necessary conditions to thrive.
We contribute to a sustainable knowledge ecosystem for education by raising the profile of African education researchers and increasing access to relevant data.
