On April 29, 2021, the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX) COVID-19 Observatory organized a webinar on “Education Financing, Teacher and Learner Well-being and School Reopening.” The webinar presented the Observatory’s emerging synthesis findings on COVID-19 education and policy response of 41 GPE country partners in Africa with respect to education financing, teacher and learner well-being, and school reopening. It was also an opportunity for countries to share their latest efforts, strategies, and partnerships that address the impact of COVID-19 on these three topics.

The event has been hosted by the consortia that manages the Observatory: Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and the African Union’s International Centre for Girls’ and Women’s Education in Africa (AU/CIEFFA), with the technical support of the African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS).
