The Africa Dialogue Series 2024 Is Here
The theme of the 2024 edition of our annual Africa Dialogue Series (ADS 2024) is “Education through Science, Technology and Innovation toward the Africa We Want.” ADS 2024 aims to mobilize actions and inspire solutions leveraging the power of Science, Technology and Innovation to boost access to quality education in Africa.
Through the following three sub-themes, ADS 2024 seeks to amplify a new narrative on Africa, for Africa, from Africa, engaging a wide range of stakeholders to contribute towards innovative policymaking and actionable solutions to accelerate the achievement of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 2063 Agenda of the African Union across the continent.
STEM Education for the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Generating Decent Jobs for Africa’s Youth
Focusing on the linkages between education and the labour market, this first sub-theme explores how STEM education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics allows Africa to harness economic opportunities spurred by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Transforming Education in Africa by Leveraging Innovative Finance and the Digital Revolution
The second sub-theme engages participants on how the digital revolution can fully unlock Africa's educational potential and the effective mobilization of the financing needed to establish the appropriate technology infrastructure to achieve this objective.
Effective domestic resource mobilization could bring in:
-
-
$70 Billion
From inefficient expenditures
-
Up to 2.5%
More revenue by curbing IFFs
Education and Learning in Crisis-affected Areas
The issue of education in crisis-affected areas is the focus of the third sub-theme, including the delivery of inclusive and equitable quality education under challenging settings, harnessing the power of Science, Technology and Innovation to optimize impact.
