• The Integration of Transferable Skills in Secondary and TVET Education in Sub-Saharan Africa project provided recommendations for the incorporation of transferable skills in schools as a means to youth empowerment for economic growth. Governments were urged to create space for innovation, plan for scaling up, engage stakeholders, prioritise costing and training in new pedagogies, and develop new assessment tools. Implications for donors were for provision of flexible financing and investments in transferable skills and in training for teachers and instructors. The study report can be found here.
• IMPALA programme aims to generate scientific knowledge and implementable solutions for issues related to lung health in Africa. The programme, spanning 10 African countries, builds upon a critical mass of internationally excellent clinical and applied health scientists who are experts in lung health and strengthens the capacity of emerging interdisciplinary lung health researchers from Africa.
