Higher education in Africa, as in many developing areas, faces obstacles unique to its geographic context. In Africa, such obstacles range from power outages to special challenges specific to post-war zones. However, also in Africa, innovative organizations like the African Virtual University are helping overcome obstacles to learning by connecting learners with access to higher education. AVU collaborates with partners across the globe to enhance the open distance and eLearning capacities of higher-education institutions throughout Africa.
