In the midst of the COVID-19 health crisis, a Consortium comprising of the 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 technical support from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), has been setup to develop and manage the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX) Observatory on COVID-19 responses in the educational systems in Africa.

The KIX Observatory will focus on collecting, synthesizing and mobilizing information and evidence about COVID-19 responses in primary and secondary education to inform policy and practice in 41 GPE partner countries on the African continent.

The Consortium officially launched the KIX Observatory on Tuesday November 17th, 2020.
