19 April 10-12 BST
Education Sub Saharan Africa (ESSA) and the REAL Centre at the University of Cambridge, UK, are organising a virtual workshop on enhancing Africa-led research on Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN).
The event aims to bring together policy actors and researchers in sub-Saharan Africa who are interested in or already have a track record of undertaking policy-relevant research in ECD and FLN.
The objectives are to:
- Discuss ECD and FLN research themes and how these relate to African policies and development agendas at the national, regional, continental and global levels.
- Provide a forum to enhance South-South collaboration and explore potential opportunities to strengthen existing ECD and FLN communities of practice.
- Identify the needs and priorities of Africa-based ECD and FLN researchers and explore potential opportunities and strategies for addressing these.
This virtual edition is a prelude to an in-person event that is planned for early October in Kenya.
