Initiatives in Namibia, Guinea and Zimbabwe
Following the 1999 ADEA Biennial Meeting (1), African Ministries wanting to know more about specific experiences(2) presented in Johannesburg approached the ADEA Secretariat. Visits to several countries were facilitated by ADEA within the framework of ADEA's Intra-African Exchange Program:
- In April, a team of five officials from the Ministry of Education in the Gambia visited Windhoek to explore Namibia's experience in setting up an Education Management Information System;
- In May, four Ministry officials from Chad went to Guinea to investigate Guinea's successful management of teacher redeployment, a political sensitive issue. Following up on this visit, a Guinean official will travel to Chad to provide technical assistance in this area.
- In May, a three-person delegation from Zanzibar's Ministry of Education undertook a visit to Zimbabwe to learn about Zimbabwe's Science project (ZimSci).
ADEA's Intra-African Exchange Program is designed to facilitate the sharing of African expertise, to encourage the development of regional capacities, and to capitalize on successful and potentially "exportable" African experiences.
For more information on the program and how to access it, please contact the ADEA Secretariat.
