BASSINGA Hervé

Over the past two days, International Development Research Centre (IDRC)-Knowledge Innovation Exchange (IDRC-KIX) grantees gathered in Kigali, Rwanda, for a peer-learning exchange. The convening brought together innovators, education leaders, government representatives, policy engagement specialists, and researchers from across eight African countries. Participants reflected on their first year of implementation, celebrating progress while examining challenges in strengthening education data systems. What we achieved together: ✅ Cross-country exchange of innovative approaches to strengthen education data systems and integrate digital education data solutions into existing systems. ✅ Collaborative development of a shared roadmap for scaling and sustaining contextualized education data that genuinely informs decision-making. ✅A deep dive into embedding gender equality and inclusion (GEI) principles throughout data collection, analysis, and reporting. ✅Strengthened partnerships that will foster the integration of digital tools and best practices into national education systems. Special thanks to our host Educate! Rwanda and @BrookingsInst for providing a platform that enhances collaboration and amplifies our collective impact across the continent. @GPforEducation @IDRC_CRDI @ESEA2023 @hisp_uganda @hisp_africa @ZiziAfrique @eKitabu @MDMwanga @DKadengye @Espira15 @florahpeace @hope_shete @lamechmutava @ChristineGer22 @TayibFall @dia_diama @singa05herve @HBassinga @FrancisKiroro @CheikhounaDia12 @amveyange @CKyobutungi @RatemoJuliet @DMdiarafa @deborahndlovu @williamsila @Chris_Maero @ndonyesarah @njerimbuthia @DorcasOdhiambo

During the workshop, the Knowledge Innovation Exchange- Strengthening and Enhancing Education Data Systems (KIX-SEEDS) project which focuses on scaling sub-national data value chains in sub-Saharan Africa, will be introduced. #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica #APHRCResearch

Over the last four months, #IamAPHRC’s KIX-SEEDS project Local Implementation partner ISSP from Université Joseph KI-ZERBO has driven transformative educational initiatives in Burkina Faso. From stakeholder engagement and innovative data tools to training 323 local actors and distributing 500 smartphones, the project empowers communities and builds a sustainable digital education system. With data visualization on DHIS2 and academic results expected soon, ISSP exemplifies how local ownership can amplify impact beyond expectations. #WeAreAfrica #APHRCResearch @IDRC, @Universite_JKZ, @MDMwanga, @DKadengye, @Espira15, @dia_diama, @CheikhounaDia1, @Hope_Shete, @DMDiarafa, @Amveyange, @Ckyobutungi

En réfléchissant à ma présidence, il est évident que le système financier mondial est biaisé contre les nations en développement comme le Sénégal. Le multilatéralisme inclusif est notre voie à suivre. En unissant des pays de tous les continents, nous pouvons surmonter les divisions mondiales et travailler collectivement pour un système financier équitable. Fier de servir en tant qu'Envoyé Spécial et de travailler avec le Président @EmmanuelMacron pour le Pacte de Paris qui privilégie les personnes et la planète. #PacteDeParis #DéveloppementDurable #MultilatéralismeInclusif #Macron @ContextClimate

@ArthurBanga Quand on se réclame grand analyste politique et connaisseur on ne peut pas affirmer que la reconquête de Kidal n'est pas une priorité mais plutôt l'organisation des élections. Arrêtez l'hypocrisie. Vous n'êtes pas sérieux 🙀

L'entrée des FAMA dans Kidal est la première victoire significative dans la reconquête du Nord aux mains des rebelles de l' Azawad. Prise stratégique. Félicitations aux FAMA. Même si je pense que le JNIM et l EIGS devraient être la priorité autant que l'organisation d'élections

@Alainlobog Un délinquant qui veut donner des leçons aux autres. Un ridicule monsieur

Législateurs putschistes du Burkina Faso, souvenez-vous que votre pays est agressé! Au Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, une loi autoriserait l’envoi de troupes au Niger 🇳🇪 en cas d’agression armée. Ma question : les législateurs putschistes Burkinabè auraient -ils oublié d’adopter une loi identique pour libérer leur pays de l’occupation terroriste?
