Abstract

ABSTRACTA healthy and skilled workforce is at the heart of Africa’s economic and social transformation agenda and countries with leading institutions of higher learning are among the most diversified economies in Africa. This paper examines the gaps in the performance of Africa’s higher learning institutions, identifies structural barriers to transformation and proposes better utilization of information technology to meet the emerging needs for equity and access. Based on best practices from the use of ICTs in South Africa and the rollout of digital libraries in 20 countries three key recommendations are provided to overcome gaps related to investment, digital literacy, and policy coherence.
