Even with the successes, there are several challenges, primarily a need for more funding and resources, which limits the infrastructure and connectivity of the NRENs and their ability to retain skilled personnel to manage and operate the NRENs and provide a reliable and efficient service.
WACREN 2023 will explore the theme “Tooling Up for the African Digital Learner and Researcher” in targeted keynotes, workshops and speaking sessions that leverage ongoing initiatives and showcase NREN tools and collaborations tailored to the African context. It will bring diverse partners and stakeholders together to deliberate on charting common pathways to promote innovation, investment in infrastructure and service development to boost the capacity of the evolving African digital education and research landscape.
