diversity and maximizing educational reachWhy is ADEA needed?
Africa is the continent with the youngest population in the world with a significant
demographic dividend that can be leveraged to stimulate socio-economic growth.
Africa must innovatively and meticulously foster youth skills development, with due
consideration of global trends, industries, labour market and socioeconomic needs.
The Continental Education Strategy for Africa 2016-2025 (CESA 16-25) considers “quality
and relevant education, training and research as core for scientific and technological
innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship”, thus the need for an institution that creates the
enabling environment for this to be achieved.
• ADEA’s policy dialogue interventions at continental and regional levels have
produced different positive outcomes in terms of policy reforms in the use of
contractual teachers, multi-grade teaching, integration of African languages and
cultures into education, Early Childhood Development, curriculum reforms, etc.
• ADEA has promoted peer learning among African countries through its Inter-
Country Quality Nodes (ICQNs) network and helped identify scalable and replicable
innovative solutions to key challenges areas in education.
• ADEA has promoted the paradigm shift from the conventional Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to the flexible and responsive Technical
and Vocational Skills Development (TVSD), with notable reforms in Kenya, Liberia,
Nigeria, and Rwanda.
• ADEA helped to develop capacity in African governments’ national Education
Management Information Systems (EMIS) through seminars, peer reviews and
technical assistance. Ministries now benchmark their EMIS against set Norms and
Standards.
• ADEA has institutionalized the sharing of experiences and lessons among African
countries. In accordance with the principles of the African Union’s Second Decade of
Education, ADEA encouraged education ministers and experts in Africa to adopt the
practice of sharing experiences, pooling expertise, providing mutual assistance and
taking the lead in finding solutions to their challenges in education on the continent.

Lean secretariat
ADEA has developed a new secretariat structure to ensure the effective implementation of
its strategic objectives. The team will be responsible for the management of the funds raised,
activity prioritization and monitoring progress of implementation, and achievement of high-
level results. The secretariat structure covers the following areas:
5• Programs
• Knowledge management
• Regional Centre coordination
• Communication and external relations
• Resource mobilization and partnership
Robust Governance
In anticipation of its African-led role, ADEA has developed a new governance structure that
is sustainable and effective. The new structure ensures that the membership, structure, and
responsibilities of the governance and advisory committees, correspond to the needs and
functions of the organization.

Expanding partnership
ADEA has historically been a partnership between Ministries of Education of African
countries, the African Development Bank Group, the African Union and development
cooperation partners. However, given the evolution of the Association, there will be stronger
engagement through the ICQNs and with new players, including the private sector, civil
society organizations and new financial partners.
6Collaboration with the AfDB
With the Bank as its host institution, ADEA will strengthen its
relationship with, and capitalize on, the Bank’s relationships
with its Regional Member Countries and make use of Bank
representatives in field offices. Key potential areas for
collaboration include those linked to the Human Capital
Strategy and the High Fives (and Jobs for Youth in particular).
Collaboration with the African Union
With the updated governance structure, ADEA will enter into a
AfDB new MOU with the AU to clarify its role in the implementation
of CESA 16-25, particularly the first and fifth strategic
objectives. The ICQNs will continue to collaborate and support
the relevant CESA Cluster thematic areas.

Collaboration with Development Partners
ADEA will continue to engage with development partners,
which are a main source of funding for the Association, to
identify opportunities for collaboration and to increase
coordination of efforts.
Monitoring success
ADEA will collect data to track the progress of the strategy’s implementation. This will enable
accountability and performance evaluation of the organisation. ADEA will use a combination
of quantitative and qualitative indicators to track its impact in the short, medium and long-
term.

• Percentage improvement on key educational sector outcomes (access, quality,
and relevance) in countries benefiting from ADEA capacity strengthening support
