Annual Convening 2022
Building the capacity of institutions to improve African higher-ed outcomes
June 13-17, 2022
For five years running, the Annual Convening has provided learning moments for participants to create innovations for Africa’s higher-ed sector.
Through the sharing of case-studies, participants learn strategies they can leverage in their institutions, develop a transformation mandate for implementation post-Convening and build resourceful connections to lead this transformation.
The 2022 Convening will take place from June 13 to 17th. It will be a hybrid event, taking place in Accra at the Accra Marriott Hotel, and Ashesi University, Ghana.
