Abstract

Social work education and practice is challenged in Africa, in that it is typified by a predominant approach unamenable to responding to macro social problems. Drawing on the fallouts of the coronavirus pandemic, this essay explicates how the social work profession could be well positioned to effectively respond to global, regional, and national social problems. For this to occur, it notes that the nature of social work education, as prelude to professional practice, must be improved. Strategies for strengthening the quality of social work education and practice in the African region are discussed.
