A project creating practitioner networks and digital capacity building for higher education in sub-Saharan Africa.

As one of the three work packages for the overall University of Edinburgh Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program, this project is creating practitioner networks and digital capacity building for universities in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly for greater inclusion of those traditionally underrepresented in higher education: women, forcibly displaced populations, and those with disabilities.
There are currently Digital Education Practioner Networks active in Uganda, Sierra Leone, Ghane and Liberia.
