The Government of Ghana will host a high-level forum on Africa’s Higher Education Centers of Excellence (ACE) programme from April 7-9, 2025, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, Ghana, a release announced Thursday.
The forum will be under the theme: “ACE@10-Celebrating A Decade of Impact, Innovation and Excellence. This high-level event is being held ten years after the establishment of the ACE programme, launched in 2014 to address critical challenges in the African Higher Education sector.
The event is co-organized by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, the Association of African Universities (AAU), and the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), with the support of the World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD).
The forum will take stock of the transformational journey of the ACEs over the last 10 years (ACE@10), and showcase key successes, research breakthroughs, innovations, and impact.
The ACE programme addresses critical challenges in African higher education, by enhancing collaboration and training in science, ICT and digital, engineering and mathematics, agriculture, health, transport, and other key areas, with the goal of producing a highly skilled workforce to support Africa’s economic growth.
The ACE@10 event will bring together approximately 500 participants from across Africa, including higher education and finance ministers, members of academia and research institutes, development partners such as the World Bank and the French Development Agency, the African Union, international experts, private sector representatives, and other distinguished personalities. Participants will exchange best practices and examine possibilities for a follow-up phase of the ACE programme. Enditem
