Building regional capacity across West Africa

Started in June 2022, the West Africa Hub brings together The Education Collaborative’s partner institutions based in West Africa. The WA regional hub of The Education Collaborative is hosted by Pan-Atlantic University.  

The West Africa Hub was established to drive West African–centered and context-specific engagement within The Education Collaborative. The hub is driven by anchor and exemplar institutions that commit resources, share their blueprint of success and expertise to support other institutions in the sub-region to develop their systems and operations. 

The past few years have culminated in several success stories. Currently, 36 key institutions from 7 countries in the sub-region are actively engaged in The Collaborative’s initiatives, projects, and programs. Of these, 21 are implementing 20 projects geared toward the hub’s sustainability.

These institutions demonstrate ownership and are key in driving various initiatives. Institutions in the hub are freely sharing and offering mentorships to those with identified gaps across the Collaborative’s focal areas.

Together, as a hub, we hope to improve student outcomes for the continent’s development.
