The aim of this learning brief is to bring to light the agile responses of training institutions in Africa and highlight the broader and common challenges encountered in the continent.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every aspect of life in the global community. In the area of skills development, educational institutions have had to respond rapidly to the realities of lockdown regulations to ensure that learning continues for the thousands of students who have not been able to attend classes on campuses. The learning brief is a critical reflection of what has been learnt from these good practice responses. The lessons brief further looks into sustainability measures and provides insight into the future of learning.
The African Union Development Agency-NEPAD, through its project, Skills Initiative For Africa (SIFA), has documented the learning experiences of training/learning institutions from a few countries in Africa that have implemented good practice and innovation in response to the pandemic.
