Over A55 Podcast: The Pulse of Africa

Frustrated by the one-dimensional portrait of Africa? This podcast is for you. Africa is a diverse continent with a rich and complex history. Its image, however, appears stuck in the past despite decades of progress. On this podcast, we'll strive to reflect the true realities on the ground today and discuss issues driving Africa's challenges and growth. Join Nii Akrofi Smart-Abbey for honest conversations about modern Africa. New episodes every other Friday.

Closing the Data Gap in African Education

Calls for education reform across Africa are not new, but the one ingredient necessary to facilitate these reforms - data - is not readily available in many countries. The Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) has rolled out a five-year initiative aimed at transforming how education data is collected, understood, and used across the continent. Inyang Umoren, Project Manager of the Tackling Education and Skills Data Challenges in Africa project at ADEA, breaks down the challenges associated with collecting education data and how better use of data can help in decision-making and plans for education reform.

The Cost of Africa’s Green Energy Dreams

Africa's green energy transition is underway, but without dedicated funding, some countries may be forced to delay or abandon it altogether. Despite contributing less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Africa remains vulnerable to the impact of climate change. Research Fellow at the Climate Policy Lab at Tufts University and IPPG, Seth Owusu-Mante, unpacks the burden of the green transition: the cost, the politics, and how some African countries are forging ahead with their own limited resources. Read the IPPG paper on emissions levy here [http://www.ippgafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/IPPG-Policy-Brief-A-Call-to-President-Mahama-Retain-and-Reset-the-Emissions-Levy-to-fund-Climate-Action.pdf].
