How education leadership training turned into a Community of Practice

The year 2026 marks an important stage with the transition to operationalization. The community has adopted a structured activity plan aimed at strengthening exchanges, producing knowledge useful for decision-making, and supporting professional practices. This collective dynamic illustrates a real appropriation of the initiative by its members, who ensure its facilitation and continuity.

In this dynamic, the support of IIEP-UNESCO plays a decisive role. By providing a framework, tools, and technical support, the Institute contributes to consolidating the structuring of the community. However, its sustainability relies above all on the commitment of its members, who make it a living space, rooted in their professional realities.

Today, this Community of Practice is establishing itself as a space for collective learning, innovation, and cooperation among African education stakeholders. It offers new perspectives for the development of leadership in education and for strengthening education systems in a context of rapid transformation.
