Explore Education, TVET & Digital Innovation in West Africa
27–30 May 2026 – Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire)
1–3 June 2026 – Accra (Ghana)
A Focused Entry Point into West African Education Markets
West Africa is undergoing a period of rapid transformation in education and workforce development. Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana stand out as two of the most relevant markets, combining strong economic growth with increasing investment in skills, digital learning, and technical education.
This Worlddidac delegation offers a structured way to engage with these developments. Rather than broad exposure, the programme is designed to provide direct access to the institutions and actors shaping education systems and projects on the ground.
Participants engage with policy-makers, implementing agencies, training institutions, and development partners, with a particular emphasis on initiatives supported by the African Development Bank and other major programmes.
Ghana – Gateway to Anglophone West Africa
Ghana combines stable governance with active education reform, particularly in digital learning, STEM education, and TVET development. Investments are ongoing across universities, technical institutions, and national training systems.
As host of eLearning Africa 2026, Ghana also offers access to a wider network of African and international stakeholders, complementing the delegation programme.
Côte d’Ivoire – Francophone Hub for Skills & Donor-Financed Education
Côte d’Ivoire is strengthening its technical and vocational education system as part of broader economic development. Reforms are focused on aligning training with labour market needs, expanding infrastructure, and improving teaching capacity.
Large-scale programmes financed by development banks are driving demand for training equipment, institutional capacity building, and modern curricula. For international providers, this creates a structured entry point into Francophone education environments.

- STEM education and applied sciences
