Dear eLearning Africa Community,


As the new year begins, this edition focuses on skills, systems, and the practical realities of scaling digital learning across Africa. From new research on digital and green skills commissioned by GIZ, to an opinion piece by Barbara Glover (AUDA-NEPAD) drawing on African Union policy work to examine what governments actually need from EdTech, alongside conversations on robotics, AI, and rural access, we consider how learning systems can be built to last. We look forward to welcoming you to Accra from 3–5 June 2026.
