Join the EdTech Hub and partners as they bring together researchers, policymakers, and partners to explore findings from a new Evidence Gap Map (EGM) and discuss how we can collectively strengthen education data systems to support better decision-making.

What to expect in the conversation:

Unpacking Findings: Panellists will walk through the key insights from the EGM—where the evidence is strong, where it’s missing, and what this means for education across the continent.

Validate and Interpret Together: Your feedback matters. Help the team refine and ground-truth the results to ensure they’re relevant and useful for real-world decisions.

Shape Future Research and Policy: Explore opportunities for action—where to focus future research, and how the EGM can guide policymakers and funders in setting priorities and allocating resources.

Explore the Unlocking Data Initiative: Learn how this systems-level initiative is rethinking education data across Africa—not by producing more data, but by reimagining who uses it, how it’s accessed, and how systems can support meaningful uptake.

Featuring: Nariman Moustafa, Charles Gachoki, Esme Chipo Kadzamira, Laté A. Lawson, Nain Mirabel Yuh and Pambe Rigobert.

The Unlocking Data Initiative is a consortium of Pan-African partners, including eBASE Africa, EdTech Hub, Education Sub Saharan Africa (ESSA), the University of Malawi – UNIMA’s Centre for Educational Research and Training (CERT), and Zizi Afrique Foundation.
