eBASE Africa in Kampala for continental peer learning visit on scaling education data

eBASE Africa is in Kampala, Uganda, from 21 to 22 April 2026 for a two-day peer learning visit on scaling education data innovation in Africa. The convening is facilitated by the Brookings Institution's ROSIE (Research on Scaling the Impact of Innovations in Education) team, with support from the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).  

The visit brings together four Africa-based grantees: APHRC, leading KIX-SEEDS (Strengthening and Enhancing Education Data Systems); ZiziAfrique Foundation, leading the Unlocking Data Initiative (UDI); CAMFED Tanzania; and Educate! Rwanda. eBASE participates as the implementing partner for UDI in Cameroon. Other UDI implementing partners in Kampala include CERT at the University of Malawi, ESSA, and EdTech Hub.  

Over the two days, teams will refine scaling outputs, exchange cross-cohort learning, and take part in a capacity building session on writing high-quality scaling documents. The Brookings ROSIE team has been invited to review the outputs and explore joint publication opportunities.

 The Kampala meeting follows the Rwanda-based peer learning visit hosted by Educate! Rwanda and the Dakar Convening of January 2026. eBASE is represented by Claude Fotso.
