This webinar is the culmination of a research project supported by the ICR Facility and commissioned by its donors – the European Union, the Organization for Africa, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the British Council. The research was carried out by Intellera Consulting and its consortium partners.
