Draft | 9 May 2022

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following draft recommendations have been developed drawing on the ideas, arguments and recommendations presented during the Forum for Education Research in/for/by Africa, held online between 26-29 April 2022 by participants from across Africa.

Their ideas, arguments and recommendations were captured through:

• Two surveys - one survey was part of the registration process and another survey was released during the Forum to capture contributions from non-participants;
• A Miro board which was used during the Forum to capture the contributions of the participants; and
• Notes taken during the individual sessions.

A preliminary version of this document was shared with the convening funders (Imaginable Futures, Echidna Giving, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Porticus) and the Steering Group members. Their questions, comments and recommendations have been incorporated into this version. At all times, the OTT team has tried to avoid offering our own views or opinions; however, the statements presented in this document have been edited from the original presented by participants of the Forum.

This document does not necessarily reflect the views, opinions or policies of any of the organisations or individuals mentioned.

You are invited to comment on the principles after each section.
