Aga Khan Foundation plugs gaps boosting Africa’s education

Education in Africa has many faces and the sector is filled with innovations, knowledge management techniques and funding mechanisms. Recently, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) gave education a boost, particularly in developing African nations in Uganda, Tanzania, and Mozambique. This was during the 2022 Doha Forum, where AKF and Education Above All Foundation signed a new US$50 million partnership to help millions of out-of-school children access quality education. According to AKF, the new five-year partnership stretches from 2022 to 2026. It leverages “investment in some of AKF’s existing education programmes being implemented in partnership with the Governments of the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and the European Commission, UNICEF, and several other private foundations.”
