Dr. Alice Mweetwa, Deputy Executive Secretary responsible for Programme Development and Implementation, RUFORUM

Good afternoon Excellences, Honorable Ministers, Vice Chancellors, distinguished Webinar panelists, participants, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you to our Moderator for Webinar 11, Mr. Rafiq EL ALAMI, of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco. It is a great pleasure and honour for me to welcome you to the eleventh in a Series of thirteen RUFORUM Webinars.

Today’s Webinar African Universities in Post COVID-19: Assessing the Opportunities and Challenges of On-Line Learning has been motivated by the need for a high level conversation, especially at this time of the COVID-19 Pandemic, on the future of on-line learning at universities in Africa. We are keen to learn about opportunities for ICT readiness in our universities and partner institutions for knowledge sharing and for supporting innovations in delivery of agricultural services , supporting SMEs and other business innovations, for promoting inclusivity, and for enhancing capacity for generating data for policy decisions. How best could we collaborate among African Universities and with other regional and global knowledge centres?
