Who we areWho we are

OER Africa OER Africa is a SaideSaide endeavour, headquartered in Nairobi and established to play a leading role in driving the development and use of OER in Africa.

OER Africa OER Africa brings together all of Saide’s OER-related activities under a common conceptual framework.

Seed funding from the William & Flora Hewlett William & Flora Hewlett Foundation Foundation and a wide variety of projects and partnerships running across Africa.

Why do we exist?Why do we exist?

• OER Africa OER Africa believes that OER can positively support development and capacity of higher education systems and institutions across Africa.

• OER Africa OER Africa is concerned that – if the concept and practice of OER evolves predominantly outside and for Africa – we will not be able to liberate its potential.

Q & AQ & A

• Are the network design and services generalizable to other disciplines?

• If so, how should we work together to build and scale the services across communities?

• What’s missing from the network?
