The KIX Africa 21 hub brings together countries that share common educational and linguistic history, geography, and environmental characteristics, in addition to similar socioeconomic challenges. The Africa 21 hub facilitates cross-country knowledge exchange and mobilization, learning, synthesis, and collaboration among national education stakeholders in Global Partnership for Education partner countries primarily located in West and Central Africa and the Indian Ocean. The hub functions as a regional forum within KIX.
A consortium of three organizations manages the Africa 21 hub:
- Institut de la Francophonie pour l’éducation et la formation (IFEF)
- Conférence des ministres de l’éducation des États et gouvernements de la Francophonie(CONFEMEN)
- Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie
